Background
Galderma Laboratories, L.P. appealed a case involving Erick Brenner from the Business Court Division 8B in Tarrant County, Texas. The trial court cause number was 26-BC08B-0003.
On October 12, 2026, Galderma filed an unopposed motion to dismiss the appeal. Galderma explained that the parties had settled their dispute.
The Court’s Holding
The Texas Fifteenth Court of Appeals granted Galderma’s unopposed motion under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.1.
The court dismissed the appeal. Its brief memorandum opinion did not address the merits of the parties’ underlying dispute.
Key Takeaways
- An appellant may seek voluntary dismissal of an appeal under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.1.
- Galderma’s dismissal motion was unopposed and followed settlement of the dispute.
- The court dismissed the appeal without deciding the merits of the underlying case.
Why It Matters
The decision illustrates the procedural conclusion of an appeal after settlement. Because the court dismissed the appeal without reaching the merits, the memorandum opinion establishes no substantive ruling on the underlying dispute.
