Trial Court No. 69,515-B; Honorable Martin B. Muncy, Presiding
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before QUINN, C.J., and CAMPBELL and PIRTLE, JJ.
Pending before this court is the Joint Motion to Remand for Rendition of an Agreed Judgment of Appellant, Joe Steven Sharp, and Appellee, the Commission for Lawyer Discipline. In their joint motion, the parties represent that they have reached a settlement and request that we set aside the trial court's Default Judgment of Disbarment and remand the case for rendition of an agreed judgment. The parties' proposed Agreed Judgment of Active Suspension is attached as an exhibit to their joint motion.
To accord the trial court with jurisdiction to accomplish the relief requested by the parties and effectuate their settlement agreement, we grant the motion and, without passing on the merits of the appeal, set aside the trial court's judgment, and remand the cause to the trial court for rendition of judgment in accordance with the agreement of the parties. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(2)(B). Pursuant to the motion, all costs on appeal should be taxed against the parties incurring them. Id. at 42.1(d). Having set aside the judgment at the request of the parties, no motion for rehearing will be entertained and our mandate will issue forthwith.
