                          Turner, deceased, Liz Chavez, Shannon Hodge, Kevin Wong, Scott

        On February 9, 2023, Appellant, The City of Denton (“Appellant”), filed an Unopposed
Motion to Dismiss Appeal with Prejudice (“Motion to Dismiss”). The certificate of service on
the Motion to Dismiss does not comply with Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.5.
Specifically, the certificate of service does not indicate the Motion to Dismiss was served “on all
parties to the proceeding” and the date and manner of service for all parties. TEX. R. APP. P.
9.5(a), (e). While the certificate of service attached to the Motion to Dismiss indicates the
Motion was served “on all counsel of record . . . via electronic transmission,” the attached
Automated Certificate of eService reflects only that Appellant’s counsel was served.
       Appellant’s Motion to Dismiss is struck. The Court will consider a motion to dismiss
that complies with Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.5. TEX. R. APP. P. 9.5.
       It is so ORDERED.
