On Appeal from the 215th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Case No. 2024-08213

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellants Blackbuck Petroleum PropCo I LLC and AGP Energy Services

LLC filed a notice of appeal from the trial court’s October 11, 2024 order denying

their motion to compel arbitration. Appellees Bluefin Resources PropCo LLC, Bluefin Resources LLC, Stanford

Petroleum LLC, and Scott Stanford have now filed a motion to dismiss the appeal,

noting that the parties have entered into a mediated settlement agreement, which

incorporates a settlement, release, and confidentiality agreement that “resolve[s] any

and all past and present claims and causes of action” between the parties, including

the “appeal pending before the First District Court of Appeals (No. 01-24-00826-

CV).” In the settlement, release, and confidentiality agreement, the parties agreed

to “file dismissals with prejudice of all claims.” Appellees therefore request that this

Court effectuate the parties’ agreement by disposing of this appeal by dismissal. See

TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(2)(A).

Copies of the mediated settlement agreement and the settlement, release, and

confidentiality agreement, both of which are signed by the parties, are attached to

appellees’ motion to dismiss on file with this Court. See id. 42.1(a)(2). Appellants

filed a response to appellees’ motion to dismiss, stating that they are unopposed to

the motion and relief requested therein. No opinion has issued. See id. 42.1(c).

Accordingly, we grant appellees’ unopposed motion and dismiss the appeal,

with costs to be taxed against the appellants. See id. 42.1(a)(2)(A), (d), 43.2(f).

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Chief Justice Adams and Justices Guerra and Guiney.
