TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

                                       NO. 03-22-00407-CV

                  Rock Engineering and Testing Laboratory, Inc., Appellant

                                                  v.

            Epsilon Zeta Chapter of Alpha Delta Pi House Corporation, Appellee

                  FROM THE 274TH DISTRICT COURT OF HAYS COUNTY
             NO. 21-2684, THE HONORABLE SHERRI TIBBE, JUDGE PRESIDING

                             MEMORANDUM OPINION

               Appellant Rock Engineering and Testing Laboratory, Inc. has filed an unopposed

motion to dismiss this appeal. The Court previously abated this appeal at the parties’ joint

request to permit proceedings in the trial court to effectuate the parties’ settlement agreement.

Appellant filed a status report with the Court, informing us that the trial court has dismissed the

case, and requesting that the abated appeal be dismissed. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.1(a)(1); id.

R. 43.2(f). The Court construes this request as a motion to dismiss the appeal. See Surgitek,

Bristol-Myers Corp. v. Abel, 997 S.W.2d 598, 601 (Tex. 1999) (“[W]e look to the substance of a

motion to determine the relief sought, not merely to its title.”).

               We grant appellant’s motion and dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.1(a).

                                               __________________________________________
