FROM THE 153RD DISTRICT COURT OF TARRANT COUNTY

MEMORANDUM OPINION 1

Appellee and appellant Sheffield Development Company, Inc. (Sheffield)

has filed an unopposed motion to dismiss this appeal. Sheffield contends that

the appeal is moot because it nonsuited all of its claims against appellant and

Burgess), and the trial court entered an order dismissing those claims without

is moot. We also agree that the appeal is moot. 2 Thus, in accord with

Sheffield’s motion, we dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 43.2(f);
