In the motion, the parties requested we stay the appeal because they had reached a settlement agreement and planned to file a joint motion to dismiss the appeal once appellant had satisfied requirements set out in their agreement and an agreed order. We granted the parties’ motion, withdrew the formal submission date, and ordered the parties to file either a motion to dispose of the appeal or status update by September 6, 2023. On September 6, 2023, appellee filed a status report indicating appellant was in compliance with their agreement and the agreed order, and the final requirement would be satisfied by October 27, 2023. The Honorable Sandee Bryan Marion, Chief Justice (Retired) of the Fourth Court of Appeals, sitting by assignment of the Chief Justice of the Texas Supreme Court. See TEX. GOV’T CODE §§ 74.003, 75.002, 75.003. 1 04-22-00009-CV On October 24, 2023, the parties filed a joint motion indicating appellant had satisfied the agreement and agreed order; they requested we dismiss the appeal with prejudice. After consideration, we reinstate this appeal on this court’s docket, grant the motion, and dismiss the appeal with prejudice. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(1). Because the motion does not disclose an agreement regarding the assessment of costs, we further order all costs assessed against appellant. See id. R. 42.1(d) (absent agreement of the parties, costs are taxed against appellant). Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice -2-
