No. 07-24-00161-CV

IN THE INTEREST OF S.F.-N., A CHILD

On Appeal from the 251st District Court Randall County, Texas Trial Court No. 62268-C, Honorable Ana Estevez, Presiding

June 6, 2024 MEMORANDUM OPINION Before QUINN, C.J., and PARKER and DOSS, JJ.

Appellant, Jimmy Nunn, Sr., appeals from the trial court’s Order Holding

Respondent in Contempt for Failure to Pay Medical Support, Granting Judgment for

Arrearages, and Suspending Commitment. Now pending before this Court is Appellant’s

motion seeking voluntary dismissal of the appeal. The Court finds that the motion

complies with the requirements of Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.1(a)(1) and that

granting the motion will not prevent any party from seeking relief to which it would

otherwise be entitled. As no decision of the Court has been delivered to date, we grant the motion. The appeal is dismissed. 1 Because the motion does not reflect an agreement

of the parties concerning the payment of costs, costs will be taxed against Appellant. See

TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(d). No motion for rehearing will be entertained and our mandate will

issue forthwith.

Per Curiam

1 The appeal is also dismissed because Appellant failed to pay the requisite filing fee. By letter, we notified Appellant that the filing fee was overdue and that unless he was excused from paying court costs, failure to pay the filing fee by May 13, 2024, would result in dismissal of the appeal. Appellant has yet to pay the fee or seek leave to proceed without payment of court costs. See TEX. R. APP. P. 20.1, 25.1(b), 42.3(c). 2
