            David Bradley Dean is the sole appellant in this appeal.  He has filed a motion to dismiss the appeal pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 42.1(a)(1).  In the motion, appellant states that “[t]he parties, including Patrick S. Duffy, Guardian ad Litem for all minor, incapacitated, unborn and all unascertained beneficiaries, have now entered into a Settlement Agreement.”  He further states that the terms of the settlement agreement provide for him to dismiss his appeal and allow the final judgment of the trial court to become “a final, non-appealable judgment.”  Therefore, in accordance with appellant’s request, we dismiss the appeal.

The motion to dismiss is granted, and the appeal is dismissed.
