MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Yañez and Garza

Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

          Appellants, ROEL PENA AND AVENTIS PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., perfected an appeal from a judgment entered by the 139th District Court of Hidalgo County, Texas, in cause number C-750-04-C. After the record was filed, the parties filed a joint motion to set aside the trial court’s judgment and remand the cause pursuant to settlement agreement. In the motion, the parties state that they have agreed to a compromise settlement of the controversy on which the trial court’s judgment is based, and the appeal is therefore moot. The parties request that the trial court’s judgment be set aside without regard to the merits and that the cause be remanded to the trial court for further proceedings and disposition in accordance with their agreement.

          The Court, having examined and fully considered the documents on file and the parties’ joint motion, is of the opinion that the motion should be granted. The joint motion is granted, and the judgment of the trial court is hereby REVERSED and the cause is REMANDED to the trial court in accordance with the parties’ settlement agreement.  

                                                                                                 PER CURIAM

Memorandum Opinion delivered and filed

this the 28th day of September, 2006.
