Appellants have complied with the requirements of Rule 42.1(a)(1).

Further, Appellants inform the Court that this action disposed of all issues made the basis of this appeal. Appellants request that this Court dismiss the appeal and release the security. We have considered this cause on Appellants' motion and conclude that the motion should be granted and the appeal should be dismissed. We therefore dismiss the appeal and order that Appellants are released from their obligations on the supersedeas bond.
