                        On Appeal from the 353rd Judicial District Court
                                      Travis County, Texas
                           Trial Court Cause No. D-I-GN-14-005006

                        AGREED MOTION TO DISMISS APPEAL

TO THE HONORABLE             THIRD COURT OF APPEALS:

       Pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.1, appellant, Joseph P. Thweatt,

files this Agreed Motion to Dismiss Appeal, seeking voluntary dismissal of this appeal

with prejudice.

       Thweatt perfected this appeal by filing a notice of appeal on June 2, 2015, of an

interlocutory     order of the 353rd Judicial District Court of Travis County.    The order

denied a motion to dismiss a defamation         claim asserted by Billingsley, which motion

                                           Page 1 of2
Thweatt filed pursuant to Texas Civil Practices and Remedies Code chapter 27.         The

Parties have resolved the dispute between them with respect to the defamation claim

only; therefore, Thweatt no longer wishes to prosecute this interlocutory appeal of his

motion to dismiss the defamation claim.      Accordingly, Thweatt requests that the Clerk

dismiss this appeal with prejudice, with costs of appeal to be paid by the Thweatt.

       Appellees Billingsley House Moving, Inc., and Oliver Billingsley are in agreement

with this motion, as reflected by the signature of their counsel below.
