Appeal from the County Court at Law #7 of El Paso County, Texas (TC# 99-2330).
Before Panel No. 3: BARAJAS, C.J., LARSEN, and CHEW, JJ.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
This is an interlocutory appeal taken from the trial court's order denying arbitration. Pending before the Court is the Appellant's motion to dismiss this appeal pursuant to Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 42.1(a)(1), which states:
(a) On Motion or By Agreement. The appellate court may dispose of an appeal as follows:
(1) On Motion of Appellant. In accordance with a motion of appellant, the court may dismiss the appeal or affirm the appealed judgment or order unless disposition would prevent a party from seeking relief to which it would otherwise be entitled.
Appellant has complied with the requirements of Rule 42.1(a)(1). Appellant represents to the Court that the parties in the underlying case have settled all matters raised therein and that the issue in this appeal, whether the case should have been heard by an arbitrator, is now moot. We have considered this cause on the Appellant's motion and conclude that the motion should be granted and the appeal should be dismissed. We therefore dismiss the appeal.
