                            MEMORANDUM OPINION
               Before Chief Justice Burns, Justice Molberg, and Justice Nowell
                               Opinion by Chief Justice Burns
       This appeal follows the trial court’s March 8, 2019 second amended final judgment in favor

of Robert A. Imel and against LegacyTexas Bank and Energy Reserves Group, LLC. Only

LegacyTexas has appealed.

       Stating they have settled all matters in controversy between them, LegacyTexas and Imel

have filed a joint motion to vacate the portion of the judgment against LegacyTexas and render

judgment dismissing with prejudice the claims against LegacyTexas. We grant the motion.

Without regard to the merits, we vacate the trial court’s March 8th judgment as it relates to

LegacyTexas only and render judgment dismissing with prejudice Imel’s claims against

LegacyTexas. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a).
