WESSIE LOUISE HILL-SCYRUS, Appellant

V.

HOUSING AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF HOUSTON, IRVINTON VILLAGE, Appellee

On Appeal from the County Civil Court at Law No. 4

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 756,785

O P I N I O N

This is an appeal from a judgment signed on September 28, 2001. Pro se appellant filed a timely notice of appeal on October 4, 2001. Appellant is proceeding as an indigent on appeal.

On February 12, 2002, we received a letter from the court reporter stating that she was told the case has settled and the appeal would not be pursued. On March 18, 2002, we received a copy of the letter appellee's attorney sent to appellant requesting her to sign a joint motion to dismiss the appeal. It appears that the City of Houston has asked the constable not to serve the outstanding writ of possession. No motion to dismiss has been filed. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.1.

On April 4, 2002, this Court issued an order stating that unless, within 30 days of the date of the order, the parties to the appeal demonstrated that there was a live controversy between them as to the merits of this appeal, the appeal would be dismissed. See Hallmark Personnel of Texas, Inc. v. Franks, 562 S.W.2d 933, 935 (Tex. App.-Houston [1st Dist.] 1978, no writ). No response has been received to this Court's order of April 4, 2002.

Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed. All pending motions are overruled as moot.
