                      ORDER VACATING SANCTION AND DISMISSING APPEAL

                             On December 30, 2015, we entered an order conditionally
                 imposing sanctions against counsel for appellants for their failure to file
                 the opening brief and appendix. We directed counsel to each pay the sum
                 of $250 to the Supreme Court Law Library by January 14, 2016.
                 However, the sanction would be automatically vacated if appellants filed
                 and served the opening brief and appendix by January 11, 2016. On
                 February 2, 2016, appellants filed a letter advising that the parties have
                 reached a settlement as well as a notice of settlement requesting that this
                 appeal be dismissed and the conditional sanction vacated.
                             Despite the untimeliness of the response, we grant the motion.
                 The conditional sanction imposed on December 30, 2015, is vacated and
                 this appeal is dismissed. However, we remind counsel for appellants that
                 they are not at liberty to disregard orders from this court.         Weddell V.
