Appellant, Ford Motor Company, filed a motion to dismiss its appeal. The Court finds that this motion is voluntarily made by the appellants through its attorney of record prior to any decision of this Court. Tex. R. App. P. 42.1(a)(1). The Court finds that thirty-three individuals have also appealed from the judgment. Appellants, Gus Grant, Pete Lennon and Harry Dorian filed an opposition to Ford Motor Company's motion to dismiss. It appears that the motion asserts a matter of right and does not prevent the other parties from obtaining appellate relief.

It is therefore ordered that the motion to dismiss be granted. The appeal of Ford Motor Company is dismissed. Tex. R. App. P. 42.1(b). All costs of the appeal of Ford Motor Company are assessed against Ford Motor Company. The appeals of Susan Weatherford, Anthony Valach, Robert Block, John Frazer, Mary Lou Roseman, Eileen Bell, David Williams, Gary McWilliams, Cindy Garza, Romelia Vazquez, Brian Brookins, Elizabeth Brookins, David Dodge, John Dillman, Gus Grant, Pete Lennon, Harry Dorian, Richard Arnold, William R. Holmes, Peter B. Ford, Aaron Jordan, John Card, Frank Allen, Jesus Ituarte, Ray G. Salazar, John Nicholas, Roger Kirstein, Mark Breaux, Jan Gadow, Irene Padella, Thomas McMackin, Carolyn Sandefur, and Valerie Theng Matherne shall continue.

APPEAL SEVERED AND DISMISSED.
