                         MEMORANDUM OPINION
    Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Rodriguez and Benavides
                       Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

      Appellants, Gulf Island Fabrication, Inc. and Gulf Island, L.L.C., perfected an

appeal from a judgment entered by the 156th District Court of San Patricio County, Texas,

in cause number S-08-5392-CV-B. The parties have filed a joint motion to reverse the

judgment and remand to the district court on grounds that all matters in controversy
between them in this cause have been fully compromised and settled. The parties

request that we reverse the trial court’s judgment without regard to the merits and remand

the case for implementation of settlement.

       The Court, having considered the documents on file and the joint motion to reverse

and remand, is of the opinion that the motion should be granted. See TEX. R. APP. P.

42.1(a).   Accordingly, the joint motion is granted.    We REVERSE the trial court=s

judgment without regard to the merits, and REMAND this case to the trial court for further

proceedings in accordance with the parties’ agreement.            See TEX. R. APP. P.

42.1(a)(2)(B), 43.2(d).

       Costs will be taxed against appellants. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(d) (“Absent

agreement of the parties, the court will tax costs against the appellant.”).      Having

reversed the trial court’s judgment and remanded the case at the parties’ request, no

motion for rehearing will be entertained.

       Furthermore, the parties request immediate issuance of our mandate. See TEX.

R. APP. P. 18.1(c). The motion is GRANTED. We direct the Clerk of the Court to issue

the mandate immediately. See id.
