KYLE ____________________________________________________________ Clerk BECKY, LTD., Appellant V. MILESTONE COMMUNITY BUILDERS, LLC, THE CITY OF CEDAR PARK, STEPHEN THOMAS, MATT POWELL, MITCH FULLER, LYLE GRIMES, LOWELL MOORE, JON LUX, AND DON TRACY, Appellees _____________________________________________________________ ON APPEAL FROM THE 126TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, TRAVIS COUNTY, TEXAS ______________________________________________________________ APPELLANT’S MOTION FOR VOLUNTARY DISMISSAL OF APPEAL ______________________________________________________________ TO THE HONORABLE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS: Appellant, Becky, Ltd, files Appellant’s Motion for Voluntary Dismissal of Appeal pursuant to TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a), and would respectfully show the Court as follows: Becky filed a notice of appeal on January 30, 2015, intending to appeal what it believed to be a final judgment. It later came to Becky’s attention that the judgment appealed from was not final since it did not dispose of all parties and all AUS-6080685-1 claims. Becky then filed a Motion to Abate, asking for abatement in anticipation that the trial court would soon enter another order dismissing the remaining claims. This Court granted the Motion to Abate on March 4, 2015. The trial court has now entered an order addressing the remaining claims, but it did not dismiss those claims. Instead, the trial court denied the remaining defendant’s motion to dismiss Becky’s claims against it. There is thus no final judgment entered in the proceedings below, and this appeal is premature. Becky therefore requests that this Court dismiss this appeal without prejudice as untimely. Becky intends to file another appeal once the judgment below becomes final. Counsel for Appellee City of Cedar Park and the individual Appellees has indicated that these Appellees do not oppose this motion. Counsel for Appellee Milestone has not responded to inquiries about whether it opposes this motion. WHEREFORE, Appellant requests that this motion be granted and that Appellant’s appeal be dismissed without prejudice. Respectfully submitted, HUSCH BLACKWELL LLP By /s/ Elizabeth G.
