Before BOYD, C.J., and REAVIS and JOHNSON, JJ.

On May 23, 2002, the appellants filed a Motion to Dismiss Appeal averring that they have settled their claims and no longer wish to pursue the appeal and that the appeal should be dismissed.

Without passing on the merits of the case, the appellants' Motion to Dismiss Appeal is granted and the appeal is hereby dismissed. Tex. R. App. P. 42.1(a)(1). No order pertaining to costs is hereby made as all costs have been paid. Having dismissed the appeal at the appellants' request and because the appellee is not opposed to such a request, no motion for rehearing will be entertained and our mandate will issue forthwith.

As for the purported reference to community desires when assessing punishment, no objection was uttered. Thus, appellant also failed to preserve this complaint. See Archie v. State, 221 S.W.3d 695, 699 (Tex. Crim. App. 2007) (stating that to preserve error regarding prosecutorial argument, a defendant must pursue his objections to an adverse ruling).

Accordingly, we overrule the issue and affirm the judgment of the trial court.
