No. 08-14-00263-CV

COURT OF APPEALS EIGHTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS EL PASO, TEXAS

October 16, 2015

READYONE INDUSTRIES, INC., and IRMA RIVERA, §

Appellants, § No. 08-14-00263-CV

v. § Appeal from the

MANUEL RAMIREZ, § 243rd Judicial District Court

Appellee. § of El Paso County, Texas

§ (TC# 2014-DCV-1389)

MEMORANDUM OPINION

The parties have filed a joint motion stating that they have settled the issue in dispute and asking that we render judgment in favor of Appellants to effectuate the parties’ agreement to proceed to binding arbitration pursuant to the Mutual Agreement to Arbitrate executed by them. See TEX.R.APP.P. 42.1(a)(2)(A)(permitting appeals court to dispose of appeal by rendering judgment effectuating the parties’ agreement); TEX.R.APP.P. 43.2 (permitting appeals court to reverse the trial court’s judgment and render the judgment the trial court should have rendered). Because the attorneys representing the parties have signed the settlement agreement and filed it with the Clerk of this Court, we grant the motion. See TEX.R.APP.P. 42.1(a)(2)(A)(requiring settlement agreement to be signed by the parties or their attorneys and filed with the clerk before appeals court can render judgment in accordance with the agreement). Without regard to the merits, the trial court’s order denying Appellants’ Motion to Compel Arbitration and Stay Proceeding is reversed and judgment is rendered in favor of Appellants. We assess all costs of this appeal against Appellants. See TEX.R.APP.P. 42.1(d)(requiring appeals court to assess costs against appellant absent an agreement by the parties).
