                    APPEAL FROM THE MARION SUPERIOR COURT
                The Honorable Gerald S. Zore, Presiding Judge
                        Cause No. 49D07-9908-CT-1193

                                May 21, 2003
Per Curiam.
      The Court of Appeals held in this case that heirs  to  an  estate  had
standing to file a free-standing lawsuit  against  the  estate’s  accountant
for malpractice and negligence, to which action the personal  representative
could later become substitute plaintiff.  Inlow v. Ernst & Young,  LLP,  77l
N.E.2d 1174 (Ind.Ct.App. 2002).

      We granted transfer, thereby vacating the  opinion  of  the  Court  of
Appeals.  Ind. Appellate Rule 58(A).

      The parties have now filed a stipulation indicating that  all  pending
matters between them have been settled.  While we have  occasionally  issued
opinions on matters already settled by the  litigants,  here,  we  elect  to
grant their request that the appeal be DISMISSED.

      All Justices concur, except Sullivan, J., who is not participating.
