MOTION FOR VOLUNTARY DISMISSAL

__________________________________________________

Appellants Dr. Robert Tafel, et al. no longer wish to pursue this interlocutory

appeal. They ask that the Court dismiss this appeal. Because this is an interlocutory

appeal, and no other party seeks relief, there is no need for further action of the Court

other than dismissal. Tex. R. App. P. 42.1(a)(1). As is explained more fully in the

Certificate of Conference, I cannot represent whether or not this motion is opposed.

Respectfully submitted,

CERTIFICATE OF CONFERENCE

This afternoon I contacted Hunter Polvi, counsel for Appellee in this appeal, and asked whether Appellee opposed the relief sought through this motion. He told me that he would not answer the question unless I first explained my analysis involved in handling this matter. Because I am unwilling to share my work product and strategic thinking with opposing counsel, I cannot represent whether this motion is opposed or not.
