The appellant, Frederick T. Arnold, and the appellee, Colonial Lloyds, filed a joint motion to dismiss this appeal. The parties allege they have settled all disputes and agreed to dismiss this appeal. The Court finds that the motion is voluntarily made by the parties through their attorneys of record prior to any decision of this Court and should be granted. Tex. R. App. P. 42.1(a)(1), (2).

It is, therefore, ORDERED that the motion to dismiss be granted and the appeal is therefore DISMISSED without reference to the merits of the appeal. All costs are assessed against the incurring party.
