IN THE MANAGEMENT TRUST OF JOSEPH CHARLES CORPORA, AN
INCAPACITATED PERSON
On Appeal from the Probate Court No. 1
Travis County, Texas1
Trial Court Case No. C-1-PB-23-002076
MEMORANDUM OPINION
1
Pursuant to its docket equalization authority, the Supreme Court of Texas
transferred this appeal to this Court. See Misc. Docket No. 23–9109 (Tex. Dec. 21,
2023); see also TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 73.001 (authorizing transfer of cases);
TEX. R. APP. P. 41.3 (“In cases transferred by the Supreme Court from one court of
appeals to another, the court of appeals to which the case is transferred must decide
the case in accordance with the precedent of the transferor court . . . .”).
Appellant, Joseph Charles Corpora, an incapacitated person, filed a notice of
appeal from the trial court’s December 5, 2023 final judgment. On March 4, 2024,
appellant filed an unopposed motion to abate his appeal, which we granted.
Appellant has now filed an Unopposed Motion to Lift Abatement and Voluntarily
Dismiss Appeal, requesting that the Court reinstate and dismiss his appeal. See TEX.
R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(1). The motion states that it is unopposed and contains a
certificate of conference. See TEX. R. APP. P. 10.3(a)(2). No other party has filed a
notice of appeal, and no opinion has issued. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(1), (c).
Accordingly, the Court grants appellant’s motion, reinstates the appeal on the
Court’s active docket, and dismisses the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(1),
43.2(f). We dismiss any other pending motions as moot.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Chief Justice Adams and Justices Hightower and Countiss.
