On Appeal from the 129th District Court

Trial Court Cause No. 2009-64460
ABATEMENT ORDER
This is an appeal from a final judgment signed February 1, 2013. On April 3, 2013, the parties filed an agreed motion to abate the appeal for sixty days to complete a settlement agreement. We GRANT the motion and issue the following order:
The court ORDERS the appeal ABATED for a period of sixty days, and the appellate timetable in this case suspended during the abatement. If the settlement is completed, the parties are requested to file a motion to dismiss the appeal, or other dispositive motion, within 10 days of finalizing the settlement.
The appeal is ABATED, treated as a closed case, and removed from this court's active docket for a period of sixty days. Any party may file a motion stating grounds for reinstating the appeal before the end of the sixty-day period, or the court may reinstate the appeal on its own motion. Any party may also file a motion to dismiss the appeal or other dispositive motion at any time. Any party may also file a motion to extend the abatement period, if necessary.
