trial court may dismiss the action with prejudice in light of the parties’ settlement

agreement. Each party agrees to bear its own appellate costs.

      In light of the parties’ settlement agreement, the parties respectfully pray

that this Court promptly issue its mandate remanding the case to the trial court so

that the trial court may dismiss this action with prejudice, and for such other and

further relief as may be appropriate.
