In The

Court of Appeals For The

First District of Texas ———————————— NO. 01-25-00164-CV ——————————— CITY OF HOUSTON, Appellant V. GROVER SULLIVAN, Appellee

On Appeal from the 129th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Case No. 2024-41838

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant, City of Houston (the “City”), filed a notice of interlocutory appeal

from the trial court’s February 25, 2025 “Order Denying [the City’s] Plea to the

Jurisdiction/Traditional and No-Evidence Motion for Summary Judgment.” On

May 14, 2025, the City filed a “Motion for Voluntary Dismissal of Appeal.” In its motion, the City stated that the “parties [had] resolved the underlying dispute and

entered into a settlement agreement.” The City therefore requested that the Court

dismiss the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a) (permitting voluntary dismissal of

appeal on motion of appellant).

No other party has filed a notice of appeal, and no opinion has issued. See

TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(1), (c). The City’s motion includes a certificate of

conference stating that appellee, Grover Sullivan, is unopposed to the relief

requested in the motion. See TEX. R. APP. P. 10.1(a)(5), 10.3(a)(2).

Accordingly, the Court grants the City’s motion and dismisses the appeal. See

TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(1), 43.2(f). We dismiss all other pending motions as moot.

PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Guerra, Gunn, and Dokupil.
