JEFFREY STOTTS, Appellee On Appeal from the 196th Judicial District Court Hunt County, Texas Trial Court No. 73,136 Before Morriss, C.J., Carter and Moseley, JJ. Memorandum Opinion by Justice Carter MEMORANDUM OPINION London Broadcasting Company, Inc., is one of two appellants in this appeal. A mediation was conducted November 30, 2009. As a result of that mediation, all claims and disputes between co-appellant London Broadcasting Company, Inc., and appellee, Jeffrey Stotts, were resolved. We have now received a motion to dismiss the appeal of London Broadcasting Company only. We have ordered London Broadcasting’s appeal severed from John A. Hoskins’ appeal against Stotts. Severance allows us to remand the severed case to the trial court for entry of orders effectuating the settlement agreement between London Broadcasting and Stotts. We grant London Broadcasting’s motion. Pursuant to Rule 42.1 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, we set aside the trial court’s judgment without regard to the merits and remand the case to the trial court for rendition of judgment in accordance with the agreement of the parties.
