        Appellant, James LoVerde, M.D., filed an appeal from a judgment entered by the

13th District Court of Navarro County, Texas, in cause number D-16-24991-CV. 1


        1 This case is before the Court on transfer from the Tenth Court of Appeals in Waco pursuant to a

docket equalization order issued by the Supreme Court of Texas. See TEX. GOV'T CODE ANN. § 73.001
(West, Westlaw through 2017 1st C.S.).
Appellant has filed an unopposed motion to dismiss the appeal on grounds that the parties

have entered into an agreement resolving the dispute between the parties. Appellant

requests that this Court dismiss the appeal.

      The Court, having considered the documents on file and appellant’s unopposed

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.
