Opinion Per Curiam

Appellants, GABRIELA C. AGUIRRE, ET AL. , perfected an appeal from a judgment entered by the 156th District Court of San Patricio County, Texas, in cause number S-96-5539CV-B-4 . After the record and briefs had been filed, certain appellants filed an agreed motion to dismiss the appeal. Pursuant to a subsequent final judgment rendered by the trial court and a settlement reached between certain appellants and appellees, appellants request that this appeal be dismissed with respect to all appellants except Eusebio Botello, Jr.

Having considered appellants' agreed motion to dismiss the appeal and the documents on file, this Court is of the opinion that the motion should be granted. The motion to dismiss certain appellants' appeal against appellees, AMOCO PRODUCTION CO., ET AL. , is hereby granted. The appeal is hereby DISMISSED with respect to all appellants except EUSEBIO BOTELLO, JR. The appeal as to the dismissed appellants and appellees, AMOCO PRODUCTION CO., ET AL. , is severed from the original appeal and is docketed under cause number 13-01-385-CV.
