On Appeal from the 385th District Court

Trial Court Cause No. CV-42,168
M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N
Western Atlas International, Inc. has asked this court to dismiss this appeal because the issues in this appeal were
resolved as a matter of law and are therefore moot. The record shows that the trial court ruled on some of the parties=
claims in a summary judgment order but that, prior to the entry of a final judgment, Better Energy Sources and
Technology, Inc. d/b/a Best Resources and Western Atlas each filed a motion to dismiss without prejudice. The
motions were granted, and the trial court entered orders dismissing all claims made by Better Energy and all claims
made by Western Atlas. Thus, all of Better Energy=s claims and all of Western Atlas=s counterclaims were resolved
by voluntary dismissal. The claims in this appeal are therefore moot. After due consideration of the motion, it is the
order of this court that Western Atlas=s motion to dismiss Better Energy=s appeal is granted.
The appeal is dismissed.
