Opinion Per Curiam

Appellants, R & R CONTRACTORS AND R & R OILFIELD SERVICES, INC., perfected an appeal from a judgment entered by the 319th District Court of Nueces County, Texas, in cause number 95-5802-G.  On June 27, 2002, this Court reversed the judgment of the trial court and remanded the case for a new trial.  The parties have now filed a joint motion to dismiss the appeal.  The parties state that they have entered into a settlement agreement and general release that disposes of the controversy made the basis of this suit.  The parties request that the appeal be dismissed.

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