MEMORANDUM OPINION

      The Dodds appealed from an adverse judgment. They have now filed a motion to dismiss their appeal. They state in their motion that the parties have settled their dispute.

      Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.1(a)(2) provides:

(a) 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 such disposition would prevent a party from seeking relief to which it would otherwise be entitled.

Tex. R. App. P. 42.1(a)(2).

      Appellants’ dismissal motion complies with the requirements of the appellate rules. Appellees have not filed a response. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal with costs to be taxed against Appellants.

                                                             PER CURIAM

Before Chief Justice Davis,

      Justice Vance, and

      Justice Gray

Appeal dismissed
