OPINION
PER CURIAM:

1
Herman Joseph Jaindl filed this appeal from the district court's order granting partial summary judgment against him in his civil action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988).   Appellees have filed a motion to dismiss the appeal as moot because the parties have entered into an agreement settling the claims raised in Jaindl's complaint.   Jaindl has consented to the dismissal of the appeal.   Therefore, we dismiss the appeal as moot.   See Kennedy v. Block, 784 F.2d 1220, 1222 (4th Cir.1986).

2
The grant of partial summary judgment by the district court presents no res judicata concerns.   See Warner Bros., Inc. v. American Broadcasting Cos., 720 F.2d 231, 245 n. 11 (2d Cir.1983).   Accordingly, we grant the motion to dismiss and dismiss the appeal rather than remanding the action to the district court.   We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the Court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED.
