JACOBS TAYLOR, Appellee On Appeal from the 330th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 94-18882-Y OPINION PER CURIAM Before Justices Kinkeade, James, and FitzGerald Before this Court is appellant's June 25, 1999 motion to dismiss appeal with prejudice. The motion recites that the parties have reached a comprehensive settlement of all outstanding issues between them, and that appellant no longer desires to prosecute this appeal and seeks an order dismissing this appeal with prejudice and affirming the judgment of the trial court. To date, appellee has not filed a response. This case was abated on June 16, 1997, due to a federal bankruptcy case being filed involving appellant. Appellant's motion does not address reinstatement of the appeal. On both July 13, 1999, and September 17, 1999, the clerk sent letters to both parties requesting a motion to reinstate and advising them that no action could be taken on the motion to dismiss until the appeal was reinstated. Neither party responded to the first letter, and appellee's second letter came back marked as undeliverable no forwarding address. Appellant did not respond to the second letter. Since September 1999, the clerk has made repeated efforts to contact appellant. Recently, the clerk obtained a telephone number for appellant; however, to date appellant has failed to respond to the clerk's messages. The clerk also inquired into the status of the bankruptcy case with the bankruptcy court, and determined that the bankruptcy proceeding involving appellant has been closed. Accordingly, on its own motion, the Court REINSTATES this appeal. Moreover, appellant's June 25, 1999 motion to dismiss is GRANTED in part and DENIED in part. As requested, this appeal is DISMISSED. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(2). All other relief sought is DENIED. PER CURIAM Do Not Publish TEX. R. APP. P. 47 -2- C!tnurl nf 1\ppettln lliift}f ltintrirt nf IDe~ttn ttl Bttllttn JUDGMENT JAMES A.
