Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

Appellant, ALBERTO ALMEIDA, M.D., perfected an appeal from a judgment entered by the 197th District Court of Cameron County, Texas, in cause number 2004-04-2014-C. After the clerk's record was filed, appellant filed an unopposed motion to dismiss the appeal and for release of surety on the supersedeas bond. In the motion, appellant moves that the trial court's judgment be left unaltered. Appellant states that the parties entered into a settlement agreement pertaining to this case and that he no longer wishes to prosecute this appeal. Appellant requests that this Court dismiss the appeal and release the surety on the supersedeas bond filed by appellant from all liability thereon.

The Court, having considered the documents on file and appellant's motion to dismiss the appeal and for release of surety on the supersedeas bond, is of the opinion that the motion should be granted. Appellant's motion to dismiss the appeal and for release of surety on the supersedeas bond is granted, and the appeal is hereby DISMISSED.
