ABATEMENT ORDER
Amparo Monique Guerra, Judge
Pursuant to this Court's October 10, 2024 Abatement Order, Patrick D. Sullivan, counsel for appellee Jeanne Manry Welch, Trustee of the Welch Manry Family Trust, has filed a status report advising the Court that the parties need additional time to finalize the remaining settlement documents and present an Agreed Motion to this Court. Appellee's counsel states that since the parties met with the mediator/arbitrator to work through final issues and execute formal settlement papers, the parties have been working on the deeds and assignments needed to effectuate the transfers contemplated by the settlement agreement and present an Agreed Motion to this Court. Appellee's counsel states that he has conferred with appellant's counsel, AJ Foreman, and that appellant agrees to the statements and the request in the status report for a sixty-day extension of the abatement period. The parties therefore request that the abatement of this case continue for an additional sixty days while the parties refine the remaining documents and present a motion to this Court relating to the handling of the underlying judgment. The parties' request to continue the abatement of this appeal is GRANTED.
Accordingly, we continue the abatement of this appeal for an additional sixty days from the date of this order. No later than 60 days from the date of this order, the parties shall file a motion to reinstate and dismiss the appeal, a motion to reinstate and proceed with the appeal, or a report advising this Court of the status of the proceedings. If the parties do not respond as directed, this Court, on its own motion, may reinstate this case on the active docket.
The appeal remains abated, treated as a closed case, and removed from this Court's active docket.
It is so ORDERED.
