WILLIAM EDGAR COONEY, Appellant

V.

NADER KREIT AND FIRAS M. ABDEL-RAHMAN, Appellees __________________________________________________________________

On Appeal from the 258th District Court Polk County, Texas Trial Cause No. CIV32459 __________________________________________________________________

MEMORANDUM OPINION

The appellant, William Edgar Cooney, moved to dismiss the appeal he filed

to overturn an order dismissing the claims he filed against Nader Kreit. Firas M.

Adbel-Rahman, the other party to the appeal, did not object to Cooney’s motion.

Cooney made the motion voluntarily before the Court issued an opinion

resolving the parties’ argument in the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.1(a)(1). We

grant Cooney’s motion and dismiss the appeal Cooney filed seeking relief from the

1 trial court’s order dismissing the claims he filed against Nader Kreit. See Tex. R.

App. P. 42.1(b).

We retain what remains of Cooney’s appeal, which concerns his appeal of

another order in which the trial court dismissed his claims against Firas M. Abdel-

Rahman. Cooney has not moved to dismiss that part of his appeal and we have not

yet resolved the arguments the parties raise in the appeal. Because the appeal has

just one remaining appellee, the appeal shall proceed styled as William Edgar

Cooney v. Firas M. Abdel-Rahman.

APPEAL DISMISSED IN PART.
