      On April 9, 2013, the parties to this appeal filed a Joint Motion to Set Aside

Judgment, Discharge, Release and Return Cash Deposit, and to Remand Pursuant

to Settlement Agreement. On April 11, 2013, the parties filed a Joint Motion to

Expedite the Mandate. We grant the parties’ motions in full.

      Accordingly, pursuant to rule 42.1 of the Texas Rules of Appellate

Procedure and without regard to the merits of this appeal, we set aside the trial

court’s judgment, signed on July 20, 2011. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(2)(B). In

accordance with the parties’ agreement, the Harris County District Clerk shall

release from its Registry all of the funds being held from check number

al.; in the 234th District Court of Harris County, Texas, plus all interest accrued on

these funds to Charles W. Schwartz. We discharge and release Dynegy, Inc. from

accordance with the parties’ settlement agreement.

      Costs of the appeal are taxed against the parties who incurred them. See
