                             COURT OF APPEALS

                   THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

                     CORPUS CHRISTI – EDINBURG

JACK LEE KING,                                                              Appellant,

                                           v.

JONELL DRURY KING,                                                          Appellee.

                   On appeal from the 319th District Court
                         of Nueces County, Texas.

                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

               Before Justices Benavides, Tijerina, and Peña
                  Memorandum Opinion by Justice Peña

      This matter is before the Court on appellant’s motion to dismiss appeal. Appellant

requests dismissal stating that the parties have negotiated a settlement.

      The Court, having considered appellant’s motion, is of the opinion that the motion

should be granted. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(1) (allowing the Court to “dismiss the
appeal or affirm the appealed judgment or order unless such disposition would prevent a

party from seeking relief to which it would otherwise be entitled”). Accordingly, we grant

the motion to dismiss, and we dismiss the appeal. Costs will be taxed against appellant,

although he is exempt from payment due to his affidavit of inability to pay costs. See id.

R. 42.1(d). Because the appeal is dismissed at appellant’s request, no motion for

rehearing will be entertained.

                                                              L. ARON PEÑA
                                                              Justice

Delivered and filed on the
26th day of January, 2023.
