In The Court of Appeals For The First District of Texas ———————————— NO. 01-16-00589-CV ———————————— WINNIE STACEY ALWAZZAN, Appellant V. ISA ALI ALWAZZAN AND INTERNATIONAL AGENCIES CO., LTD., Appellees

On Appeal from the 306th District Court Galveston County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 13-FD-0848

MEMORANDUM ORDER Appellant, Winnie Stacey Alwazzan, filed an amended notice of appeal from the trial court’s two orders signed on July 21, 2016. Appellees, Isa Ali Alwazzan and International Agencies Co. Ltd., filed a notice of appeal on January 24, 2017, from the order of the court on respondent’s motion for sanctions, signed by the trial court on October 25, 2016, after requesting findings of fact and conclusions of law on November 14, 2016. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.1(a)(4), (d).

On February 3, 2017, appellees filed a letter advising this Court that they are withdrawing their cross-appeal, which we construe as a motion to dismiss. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(1). While there is no certificate of conference with the motion, it has been on file with the Court for more than 10 days without a response, and no opinion has issued yet. See id. 10.1(a)(5), 10.3(a)(2), 42.1(c).

Accordingly, we GRANT appellees’ motion and ORDER the cross-appeal DISMISSED. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(1). Appellant’s appeal remains pending before this Court.

PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Jennings, Higley, and Massengale.
