NELLIE BELL, AS LEGAL REPRESENTATIVE
OF THE ESTATE OF GEORGE TRAYLOR, Appellee

                                              

On Appeal from the 276th Judicial District Court
Titus County, Texas
Trial Court No. 30,612

                                                 

Before Morriss, C.J., Ross and Carter, JJ.
Memorandum Opinion by Justice Ross

MEMORANDUM OPINION

          Appellant Titus Regional Medical Center and Appellee Nellie Bell, acting as
representative of the estate of George Traylor, have presented this Court with a joint
motion to dismiss the pending appeal in this matter.  The trial court denied Titus' plea to
the jurisdiction, and Titus perfected the instant interlocutory appeal.  The parties now
represent to this Court they have reached a "full and final settlement."  In such a case, no
real controversy exists, and in the absence of a controversy, the appeal is moot. 
          We remand this cause to the trial court for entry of orders to effectuate the
settlement agreement among the parties.  We dismiss the instant appeal.
