Opinion issued June 14, 2022 In The Court of Appeals For The First District of Texas ———————————— NO. 01-22-00301-CV ——————————— EGBERT LAURENT, Appellant V. RASHEAD BROUSSARD, TAMARA HILL, ANTHONY PARTIDA, AND EXQUISITE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES, LLC, Appellees On Appeal from the 281st District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Case No. 2021-02778 MEMORANDUM OPINION Appellant, Egbert Laurent, appealed from the trial court’s March 16, 2022 “Final Order of Non-Suit.” On June 2, 2022, appellant filed a motion to dismiss the appeal, stating that he “no longer wishe[d] to pursue th[e] appeal,” and requesting that the Court dismiss the appeal. Appellant’s motion further “ask[ed] that costs be assessed against the party incurring them.” Appellant’s motion does not include a certificate of conference stating that appellant conferred, or made a reasonable effort to confer, with appellees, Rashead Broussard, Tamara Hill, Anthony Partida, and Exquisite Professional Services, LLC, regarding the relief requested in appellant’s motion. See TEX. R. APP. P. 10.1(a)(5). However, more than ten days have passed, and no party has expressed opposition to appellant’s motion. See TEX. R. APP. P. 10.3(a). No other party has filed a notice of appeal, and no opinion has issued. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(1), (c). Accordingly, we grant appellant’s motion, in part, and dismiss the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(1), 43.2(f). Because appellant’s motion does not state that there was an agreement between the parties regarding the assessment of costs, appellant’s request that “costs be assessed against the party incurring them” is denied. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(d) (“Absent agreement of the parties, the court will tax costs against the appellant.”). We dismiss all other pending motions as moot. PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Landau, Guerra, and Farris. 2
