MEMORANDUM OPINION

In this proceeding, appellant Jimmy R. Latham attempted to appeal a take-nothing summary judgment in favor of appellees Whittenburg, Whittenburg & Schachter, P.C., Whittenburg, French & Schachter, P.C. and Karl L. Baumgardner.  

We have now been furnished with a suggestion of death of Jimmy Latham and a motion to substitute Mrs. Floy B. Latham, the executrix of the Estate of Jimmy Latham, deceased, as appellant.  That motion is hereby granted.

Mrs. Floy B. Latham, as executrix of the Estate of Jimmy Latham, deceased, has now filed a motion in which she states the estate is the only appellant in the case and that she no longer wishes to prosecute the appeal.  The motion is in proper form and is filed before this court has rendered any opinion in the case.

Accordingly, the motion is granted and the appeal is dismissed.  Tex. R. App. P. 42.1(a).  Having dismiss the appeal at appellant’s request, no motion for rehearing will be entertained and the mandate will issue forthwith.  

John T. Boyd

Senior Justice
