On motion of the parties, we will abate the case pending further disposition in the trial court. When the trial court has entered judgment in accordance with the settlement agreement, the parties are directed to notify this Court and file a proper motion to dismiss the appeal. If the parties fail to notify the Court or file a proper motion to dismiss this appeal within thirty days of the date of this order, the Court will take whatever action it deems necessary, including dismissing the appeal for want of prosecution.
