                         MEMORANDUM OPINION

      Charlotte Patty McKinley perfected an accelerated appeal from an order

denying her motion to dismiss a residential forcible detainer action filed by

Optimist Village, Inc. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem Code Ann. 51.014(a)(12) (West

Supp. 2016). Upon receiving a suggestion of the death of the appellant, a motion to

withdraw as counsel for the appellant, and the appellee’s motion to dismiss the

appeal as moot, we abated the appeal and remanded the case to the trial court. The

trial court signed a final order of dismissal that disposed of all issues and all

                                        1
parties. On September 29, 2016, we issued a suggestion of mootness and required

that any objection be filed no later than October 14, 2016. No response has been

filed. The motion to withdraw as counsel is granted, and the accelerated appeal is

dismissed without reference to the merits. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3.

      APPEAL DISMISSED.
