                           COURT OF APPEALS

                 THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

                    CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG
____________________________________________________________

DEAN EDWARD BARRERA,                                                     Appellant,

                                          v.

             On appeal from the 445th District Court
                  of Cameron County, Texas.
____________________________________________________________

                        MEMORANDUM OPINION
  Before Chief Justice Contreras and Justices Longoria and Perkes
              Memorandum Opinion by Justice Perkes

       Appellant, Dean Edward Barrera, appealed a judgment entered by the 445th

District Court in Cameron County, Texas in cause number 2018-DCL-06103-I.

Appellant has filed a motion to dismiss his appeal. More than ten days have passed,

and appellee has not filed a response to the motion to dismiss.   See TEX. R. APP. P.

10.3 (a).
       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).   Based on our review of the record, dismissal of the appeal would

not prevent a party from seeking relief to which it would otherwise be entitled.   See

id. 42.1(a)(1). Accordingly, appellant’s motion to dismiss is granted, and the appeal is

hereby DISMISSED.       Pending motions, if any, are likewise DISMISSED.      Costs will

be taxed against appellant.   See id. 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.

                                                             GREGORY T. PERKES
                                                             Justice

Delivered and filed the
20th day of December, 2019.
