      Appellant, Pintail Production Company, Inc., and appellees, Osprey Petroleum

Company, Inc. and Osprey Petroleum Partners, L.P., have filed a joint motion to dismiss

this appeal on grounds that the parties have reached an agreement to settle and

compromise their differences. The parties request that this Court dismiss the appeal.

REINSTATES the appeal, and, considering the documents on file and the joint motion to

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

P. 42.1(a).   The joint motion to dismiss is GRANTED, and the appeal is hereby

DISMISSED. Costs will be taxed against appellants. 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 the parties’ request, no motion for rehearing will be entertained, and our

mandate will issue forthwith.
