On Appeal from the 122nd District Court

Trial Court Case No. 09CV0221
MEMORANDUM OPINION
On February 25, 2014, we received notice from the mediator that the parties had settled all issues in this appeal. On February 26, 2014, the Clerk of the Court notified the parties that, unless, within 15 days of the date of the notice, the parties demonstrated that there was a live controversy between them as to the merits of the appeal, the appeal would be dismissed. See, e.g., Hodrick v. Arena Grp. LP, No. 01-07-00554-CV, 2008 WL 185614, at *1 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] Jan. 17, 2008, no pet.) (dismissing appeal as moot when mediator informed Court of settlement and parties failed to demonstrate that live controversy existed between them); see also Valley Baptist Med. Ctr. v. Gonzales, 33 S.W.3d 821, 822 (Tex. 2000) (requiring that actual controversy exist between parties to appeal for appellate court to exercise jurisdiction). No party has filed a response to the notice.
Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3. We dismiss any pending motions as moot.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Chief Justice Radack and Justices Massengale and Huddle.
