      Appellant, South Texas Brain & Spine Institute, P.A. d/b/a South Texas Brain &

Spine Center, filed an appeal from a judgment entered by the 117th District Court of

Nueces County, Texas, in cause number 2019DCV-1339-B. The parties have filed a
joint motion to dismiss the appeal on grounds that all matters in controversy between

them in this cause have been compromised and settled. The parties request that this

Court dismiss the appeal.

       The Court, having considered the documents on file and the joint motion to

dismiss, is of the opinion that the motion should be granted. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a).

The joint motion to dismiss is granted, and the appeal is hereby DISMISSED. Costs will

be taxed against appellant. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(d) ("Absent agreement of the

parties, the court will tax costs against the appellant."). Having dismissed the appeal at

the parties’ request, no motion for rehearing will be entertained, and our mandate will

issue forthwith.
