Memorandum Opinion by Justice Ross

MEMORANDUM OPINION

          Appellants have filed a joint motion to dismiss the pending appeal in this matter. Appellants inform this Court they have previously nonsuited their claims against Appellee Southern County Mutual Insurance Company, and accordingly ask us to dismiss the appeal against that Appellee. As for the remaining Appellees, Appellants assert that all differences have been resolved, and accordingly ask us to dismiss this appeal. The motion is signed by the attorneys for Appellees. In such a case, no real controversy exists, and in the absence of a controversy, the appeal is moot.

          We grant Appellants' motion and dismiss this appeal.
