                             MEMORANDUM OPINION


               On February 12, 2009, at the joint request of the parties, we abated these appeals to

give the parties time to resolve their disputes. On March 19, the parties filed joint motions to

dismiss, explaining that they have finalized the settlement of their disputes and asking that we

dismiss the appeals.1 We grant the motions and dismiss both appeals.



                                               ___________________________________________

Dismissed on Joint Motion

       1
         The parties ask that we dismiss the appeals with prejudice. The phrase “with prejudice”
is used when disposing of a case at the trial court level, but when this Court dismisses an appeal, it
does so without any such notation. See, e.g., Tex. R. App. P. 42.1 (appellate court may dismiss
appeal on motion of appellant or by joint agreement).
