  AGREED JOINT MOTION TO DISMISS INTERLOCUTORY APPEAL

      The parties to this appeal, through their undersigned counsel of record, file

this Agreed Joint Motion to Dismiss Interlocutory Appeal and respectfully show

the following:

                                INTRODUCTION

      The present interlocutory appeal was filed by Arc Parklane, Inc. D/B/A

Parklane West Healthcare Center (“appellant”). Appellee is Arvel Seals, Jr. as

Representative of the Estate of Dora Sylvia Lehrman, Deceased.

      This suit is before this Court on appeal from the following trial court order:

            Order: Defendant’s Motions to Compel Arbitration (signed by the trial
            court on June 13, 2014 in Cause Number 2013-CI-17605).

                                          2
This interlocutory appeal was filed pursuant to Section 51.016 of the Civil Practice

and Remedies Code. See TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE § 51.016 (authorizing an

interlocutory appeal from an order denying a motion to compel arbitration under

the Federal Arbitration Act). Also pending before this Court is related Cause

Number 04-14-00473-CV.

      On September 24, 2015, this Court entered an order abating the present

interlocutory appeal so that the parties could mediate their dispute, and further

ordered that appellant file in this Court no later than November 11, 2015 either a

motion to dismiss the appeal or a motion to reinstate the appeal on the Court’s

docket.

      The parties have reached a settlement agreement regarding the underlying

dispute in this appeal. Under the terms of the settlement, various actions need to

be taken in the trial court.    Therefore, pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate

Procedure 42.1, appellant and appellee jointly request the Court dismiss this

appeal.

      Accordingly, Appellant Arc Parklane, Inc. D/B/A Parklane West Healthcare

Center and Appellee Arvel Seals, Jr. as Representative of the Estate of Dora Sylvia

Lehrman, Deceased jointly ask this Court to dismiss the appeal.

                                Respectfully submitted,
