Opinion Per Curiam

Appellant, IN THE MATTER OF THE GUARDIANSHIP OF THE PERSON AND ESTATE OF NATHAN HERRING III, perfected an appeal from a judgment entered by the 2^nd 25th District Court of Lavaca County, Texas, in cause number 98-12-18297-CV and the County Court of Lavaca County, Texas, in cause number 19. After the record and appellant's brief were filed, appellee filed a motion to dismiss the appeal. In the motion, appellee states that Nathan Herring III died on September 5, 2000, and is no longer in need of a guardian. Consequently, the issues raised on appeal are moot. Appellee requests that this Court dismiss the appeal.

The Court, having considered the documents on file and appellee's motion to dismiss the appeal, is of the opinion that the motion should be granted. Appellee's motion to dismiss is granted, and the appeal is hereby DISMISSED.
