                                  MEMORANDUM OPINION

       Pending before the Court is Appellant, Tenet Hospital’s unopposed motion to dismiss this

appeal pursuant to TEX .R.APP .P. 42.1(a)(1) and 43.2(f). Because the parties have settled the disputes

underlying this appeal, we will grant Appellant’s motion and dismiss the appeal.

       Appellant represents to the Court that the parties to this appeal have reached an agreement

resolving the disputes underlying this appeal. Appellees have not objected to the motion, and there

is no indication that dismissal would prevent Appellees from any relief to which they would

otherwise be entitled. See TEX .R.APP .P. 42.1(a)(1). Appellant’s motion is therefore granted, and

the appeal dismissed. Costs will be taxed against the party incurring the same in accordance with

the parties’ agreement. See Tex.R.App.P. 42.1(d).
