MEMORANDUM OPINION
This appeal arises from the trial court’s order removing Appellant as
independent executor. The parties have now filed a joint motion to dismiss this
appeal pursuant to a settlement agreement. In the motion, the parties state that they
have “reached an agreement on the disputes and proceedings” and that the
“settlement renders further proceedings in this appeal unnecessary.” As a result,
the parties request that we set aside the trial court’s order without regard to the merits
and remand the case to the trial court for rendition of judgment in accordance with
the parties’ agreement. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(2)(B).
We grant the parties motion, set aside the trial court’s order without regard to
the merits, and remand the cause to the trial court for the rendition of a judgment in
accordance with the parties’ settlement agreement. See id. Appellant’s Motion to
Strike Appellee Elliott Logsdon White’s Appendix to Brief of Appellee is dismissed
as moot.
