PER CURIAM
On December 29, 2022, relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus and an emergency motion for stay. This court granted relator's emergency motion and stayed the UCCJEA court conference and hearing scheduled for January 3, 2023, on the Motion for Temporary Emergency Jurisdiction. Additionally, this court requested responses from the trial court and real party in interest.
On January 9, 2023, relator filed a first amended petition for writ of mandamus and a first amended emergency motion for stay seeking to stay all underlying trial court proceedings. This court granted relator's emergency motion and stayed all proceedings in the underlying case.
The stays imposed on December 30, 2022, and January 3, 2023, are LIFTED. We ABATE the original proceeding in this court until 5:00 PM CST on May 15, 2023 to allow the trial court to conduct a UCCJEA court conference and to render a ruling. Should the trial court rule prior to the expiration of the abatement, relator may file an amended mandamus petition and motion to lift the abatement.
It is so ORDERED.
