                        MEMORANDUM OPINION
     Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Rodriguez and Longoria
                    Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

      Appellant, Heather Lynn Applewhite, perfected an appeal from a judgment entered

by the 117th District Court of Nueces County, Texas, in cause number 03-6340-B. This

appeal was abated by this Court on December 10, 2012, and the parties were ordered to

mediation. This cause is now before the Court on appellant=s motion to dismiss the

appeal on grounds that appellant no longer wishes to pursue this appeal. Appellant

requests that this Court dismiss the appeal.      Accordingly, this case is hereby

REINSTATED.
      The Court, having considered the documents on file and appellant=s motion to

dismiss the appeal, is of the opinion that the motion should be granted. See TEX. R. APP.

P. 42.1(a).   Appellant=s 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 appellant=s request, no motion for rehearing will be

entertained, and our mandate will issue forthwith.



                                                             PER CURIAM

Delivered and filed the
28th day of February, 2013.
