                              MEMORANDUM OPINION

      By order of October 8, 2010, we abated and remanded these cases for

proceedings in the trial court according to the direction of our order. On October 27,

2010, appellant Michael Denton filed a motion to dismiss both appeals. Appellant and

his attorney signed the motion. Tex. R. App. P. 42.2(a).


      We first dissolve the abatement and reinstate both cases. No decision of this

court on the merits of either case having been delivered to date, we grant the motion of
appellant to dismiss both cases. Accordingly, both appeals are dismissed. No motion

for rehearing will be entertained and our mandate will issue forthwith.
