Nyles Martin v. CACV of Colorado, LLC ( 2010 )

NO. 07-10-00164-CV
IN THE COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE SEVENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
AT AMARILLO
PANEL A
SEPTEMBER 28, 2010
NYLES MARTIN, APPELLANT
v.
CACV OF COLORADO, LLC, APPELLEE
FROM THE COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 3 OF LUBBOCK COUNTY;
NO. 2008-561,931; HONORABLE JUDY C. PARKER, JUDGE
Before CAMPBELL and HANCOCK and PIRTLE, JJ.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant, Nyles Martin, has filed a motion to dismiss this appeal because he no
longer desires to pursue it. No decision of this Court having been delivered to date, we
grant the motion. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(1).
While Martin’s motion requests that costs be charged to the party incurring them, there
is no valid agreement of the parties to allocate costs in this manner. See TEX. R. APP.
P. 6.6.1 Therefore, all costs related to this appeal are assessed against appellant. See
1
An agreement of the parties or their counsel concerning an appellate court
proceeding must be writing and signed by the parties or their counsel. Id.
TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(d).2 If dismissal will prevent appellee from seeking relief to which it
would otherwise be entitled, the Court directs appellee to file a timely motion for
rehearing. No motion for rehearing from appellant will be entertained.

Justice

Absent a valid agreement of the parties, the Court will tax costs against the
appellant. Id.
