By letter dated March 3, 2017, and faxed on March 13, 2017 appellant's counsel submitted a Stipulation Withdrawing the Appeal, dated March 9, 2017, as well as a Stipulation of Discontinuance of the matter in the Civil Court, dated November 20, 2014, more than two years and three months earlier,

Now, on the court's own motion, it is
