Pending before the Court is Appellant=s motion to dismiss this appeal.  Tex.R.App.P. 42.1(a)(1) states:

(a)        On Motion or By Agreement.  The appellate court may dispose of an appeal as follows:

(1)        On Motion of Appellant.  In accordance with a motion of appellant, the court may dismiss the appeal or affirm the appealed judgment or order unless disposition would prevent a party from seeking relief to which it would otherwise be entitled.

Appellant has complied with the requirements of Rule 42.1(a)(1).  The Court has considered this cause on Appellant=s motion and concludes the motion should be granted and the appeal should be dismissed.  We therefore dismiss the appeal.  All costs incurred are taxed against Appellant.  See Tex.R.App.P. 42.1(d).
