                                         V.

                        RUSSELL BURKETT, Appellee

                       On Appeal from the Probate Court
                            Galveston County, Texas
                      Trial Court Cause No. PR-0079139-C

                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

      This is an appeal of an order signed August 18, 2022 granting temporary
injunctive relief. On January 4, 2023, appellant filed a motion to dismiss the appeal
“with prejudice” as the parties have settled all matters of controversy between and
among them. The Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure speak only of dismissal of
an appeal; neither “with prejudice” nor “without prejudice” is appended to the
word “dismissal.” See Tex. R. App. P. 42.1. We construe the motion as one for
voluntary dismissal under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.1(a)(1).    So
construed, the motion is granted, and the appeal is dismissed.

                                  PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Spain, Poissant, and Wilson.
