This appeal was abated by this Court on April 6, 2011, and the parties were ordered to mediation.  This cause is now before the Court on appellant=s motion to dismiss the appeal on grounds that the issues have become moot.  Appellant requests that this Court dismiss the appeal.  Accordingly, this case is hereby REINSTATED.

The Court, having considered the documents on file and appellant=s motion to dismiss the appeal, is of the opinion that the motion should be granted.  See Tex. R.

App. P. 42.1(d) ("Absent agreement of the parties, the court will tax costs against the appellant.").  Having dismissed the appeal at appellant's request, no motion for rehearing will be entertained, and our mandate will issue forthwith.  Any pending motions are dismissed as moot.
