Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

Appellant perfected an appeal from a judgment entered by the 197th District Court of Willacy County, Texas, in cause number 2009-CV-0187-A.  Appellant has filed an unopposed motion to dismiss the appeal on grounds that the parties have reached an agreement to settle and compromise their differences.  Appellant requests that this Court dismiss the appeal.
