            Pending before the Court is the Appellants’ motion to dismiss their appeal against
Appellee EPT Land Assets, LP only and to dismiss Appellee EPT Land Assets, LP only from the

appeal as follows:
 
(1)On Motion of Appellant.  In accordance with a motion of
appellant, the court may dismiss the appeal or affirm the appealed
judgment or order unless disposition would prevent a party from
seeking relief to which it would otherwise be entitled.

Tex.R.App.P. 42.1(a)(1).
            Appellants have complied with the requirements of Rule 42.1(a)(1).  Appellants request
their claims against Appellee EPT Land Assets, LP only be dismissed from the appeal and that

indicated its agreement to the filing of this motion.  We have considered this cause on
Appellants’ motion and conclude that the motion should be granted.  Therefore, we dismiss the
Appellants’ claims against Appellee EPT Land Assets, LP ONLY and Appellee EPT Land
