NOT DESIGNATED FOR PUBLICATION
Rule 2-16.3, Uniform Rules, Courts Of Appeal

ELLENDER, J.

National General Insurance Company appealed a default judgment in

favor of Charles B. Racer, rendered by the Fourth Judicial District

Court. After the matter was lodged and docketed for oral argument, the

parties advised the court they were now in agreement that the appeal had

merit, and the judgment should be reversed. Since the case did not meet the

criteria for dismissal under URCA Rule 11, the parties filed a joint motion to

reverse the judgment and remand. Our own review of the record confirms

the law and evidence support this requested relief. Consequently, the default

judgment is hereby reversed and the case is remanded to the Fourth Judicial

District Court for further proceedings, with each party to bear its own costs.

JUDGMENT REVERSED AND CASE REMANDED.
