The Court of Appeals for the Fifth District of Texas addressed the appeal of Wonyoung Kim against the Commission for Lawyer Discipline, originating from the 14th Judicial District Court in Dallas County. Following a prior order to abate the appeal for settlement discussions, the parties filed a Joint Motion to Dismiss Appeal on September 12, 2019, indicating they reached a settlement regarding the trial court's denial of Kim's motion to dismiss under the Texas Citizens Participation Act. The appellee filed a nonsuit of the underlying disciplinary case, which the trial court granted, dismissing all claims with prejudice.

The court reinstated the appeal and granted the joint motion, rendering judgment to effectuate the parties' agreement per Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.1(a)(2)(A). The court ordered that each party would bear its own costs. The decision was finalized on October 16, 2019, with Justices Schenck and Reichek participating in the ruling.
