               COUNSEL FOR DEFENDANT – APPELLANT
TO THE HONORABLE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS:

     Appellant and Appellees respectfully move the Court to dismiss

the petition for review.     Appellant and Appellees would respectfully

show the Court as follows:

1.   The parties originally agreed to abate the Appeal pending action

by the Governing Body for the City of Austin that would directly

address the issues raised as part of the appeal.

2.   As of October 1, 2015, the Governing Body for the Appellant has

approved a new ordinance that moots the issues on the appeal before

this court.

3.   No opinion or judgment has been issued by this court in this

matter.

                                 PRAYER

     Therefore, Appellant and Appellee pray that the court grant this

Agreed Motion, dismiss the Appeal filed in this proceeding, and order

each party to bear its/his own fees and costs related solely to this

Appeal, and issue a mandate that the attorney’s fees, court costs, and

post-judgment interest awarded by the trial court be paid.
