2020 LONG TAIL TRAIL INVESTMENTS, LLC, ET AL.,
Appellant,
v.
STATE OF TEXAS, ET AL,
Appellees.

Appellant 2020 Long Tail Trail Investments LLC’s
Rule 42(a) Unopposed Motion to Voluntarily Dismiss

Intervenor-Defendant Appellant 2020 Long Tail Trail Investments,

LLC (“Long Tail”) moves to voluntarily dismiss its appeal in this matter.
Long Tail was in a dispute with the City of Denton related to SB 2038
and the release of its property and proposed development from the City of

Denton’s extraterritorial jurisdiction, and so brought suit against the City of
Denton in Denton County, Texas. Long Tail and the City of Denton then
entered into a Rule 11 Agreement allowing Long Tail to intervene in this

matter in Travis County. Long Tail accordingly intervened below, but the
district court struck Long Tail’s intervention, and Long Tail appealed that
judgment. Since filing its opening brief in this appeal, Long Tail and the City

of Denton reached a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release related to
their underlying dispute. Accordingly, Long Tail filed a Notice of Nonsuit
Without Prejudice in the Travis County district court and now files this
motion to dismiss its appeal. See Ex. 1.

This motion for voluntary dismissal applies only to Long Tail’s appeal,
which appealed the district court’s order striking Long Tail’s intervention
and denying Long Tail’s motion for summary judgment as moot. It does not

prevent any other party from seeking relief to which it would otherwise be
entitled. Tex. R. App. P. 42.1(a)(1).
