                               MEMORANDUM OPINION
               Before Chief Justice Wright, Justice Lang-Miers, and Justice Stoddart
                                 Opinion by Chief Justice Wright
       Appellant filed a “Notice of Abatement and Vacatur” in which she requests that this case be

“dissolved as if never filed” and that this Court “immediately refund to Chelsea L. Davis all filing

fees and costs for failure to file.” We treat appellant’s pleading as a motion to dismiss the appeal,

grant the motion and dismiss the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(1). Appellant cites no statute

or rule that excuses her from paying filing fees. We deny relator’s request that her filing fees be

refunded. See TEX. R. APP. P. 5. (“A party who is not excused by statute or these rules from paying

costs must pay--at the time an item is presented for filing--whatever fees are required by statute or

Supreme Court order.”)
