ORDER OF ABATEMENT Trial court case number: 2016-45823B Trial court: 234th District Court of Harris County
Appellants, G.R. Auto Care, Radita Gheorghe, and Laurentio Gheorghe, have filed a letter reflecting the parties' agreement, pursuant to Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 11, "to stay and abate all proceedings in the above-referenced trial court and appellate matters pending finalization of settlement." But cf. TEX. R. APP. P. 9.5(d), (e) (setting out requirements for proof of service of documents filed in court of appeals), 10.1 (setting out requirements for motions).
Accordingly, we stay the appeal. No later than 30 days from the date of this order, appellants shall file a motion to reinstate and dismiss the appeal or other appropriate motion, or provide this Court with a report advising of the status of the settlement proceedings.
The appeal is abated, treated as a closed case, and removed from this Court's active docket.
It is so ORDERED. Judge's signature: /s/ Terry Jennings
