This is an appeal from a judgment signed August 25, 2005. On November 3, 2005, this court ordered the parties to mediate the issues in the case. On January 9, 2006, the court was notified that a settlement had been reached in mediation.
On January 25, 2006, the parties filed a joint motion to vacate the judgment, in part, and remand the cause to the trial court for entry of a judgment in accordance with the parties' settlement agreement. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1. The motion is granted.
Accordingly, the judgment is vacated with respect to that portion of the judgment against Mac Haik Ford, Ltd. in favor of Stephen McBay.

The cause is remanded to the trial court for entry of a judgment dismissing with prejudice all claims and causes of action alleged by Stephen McBay against Mac Haik Ford, Ltd. and Mac Haik F.G.P., L.L.C., but retaining the judgment against John Newman. Appellant and its surety or sureties are ordered released from liability on the supersedeas bond posted by appellant Mac Haik Ford, Ltd, and the bond is ordered released.
