        The Court has considered this cause on the Appellant Albert Denzell Barnes’s motion to
dismiss his appeal and concludes the motion should be granted and the appeal should be dismissed
as to Appellant Albert Denzell Barnes ONLY. We therefore dismiss the appeal as to Albert Denzell
Barnes ONLY.
        We further considered Appellant Helmerich & Payne International Drilling Co.’s
unopposed motion to vacate trial court judgment without regard to the merits and conclude the
motion should be granted. We hereby set aside the trial court’s March 10, 2022 judgment without
regard to the merits and remand the case to the trial court for rendition of judgment in accordance
with the parties’ agreement.
        Each party shall bear its own costs incurred in this appeal, and this decision be certified
below for observance.

       IT IS SO ORDERED THIS 27TH DAY OF OCTOBER, 2023.
