AHMED EL SAYED, Appellant, v. ANNA GHALUMIAN, Appellee.
ON APPEAL FROM THE 73RD DISTRICT COURT OF BEXAR COUNTY, TEXAS
Before Chief Justice Contreras and Justices Tijerina and Peña
MEMORANDUM OPINION
JAIME TIJERINA Justice
On December 4, 2023, appellant Ahmed El Sayed perfected an appeal in this cause from the trial court's judgment. On August 13, 2024, appellant filed an unopposed motion to dismiss the appeal in this Court. The motion states that appellant and appellee Anna Ghalumian have reached a settlement agreement and that the appeal is now moot.
This case is before this Court on transfer from the Fourth Court of Appeals in San Antonio, Texas pursuant to a docket-equalization order issued by the Supreme Court of Texas. See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 73.001.
This Court abated the cause on February 23, 2024. Having considered the documents on file and the appellant's unopposed motion to dismiss the appeal, the Court is of the opinion that the motion should be granted. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.1(a). Accordingly, we reinstate the appeal, grant the motion to dismiss, and dismiss the appeal. Costs will be taxed against appellant. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.1(d) ("Absent agreement of the parties, the court will tax costs against the appellant."). Any pending motions are dismissed as moot. Having dismissed the appeal at appellant's request, no motion for rehearing will be entertained.
