ORDER OF ABATEMENT
Amparo Monique Guerra Judge
Appellant, SWN Production (Louisiana), LLC, has filed an "Agreed Motion to Abate Appeal Pending Finalization of Settlement." In its motion, appellant states that the parties "have reached a settlement in principle that would result in the voluntary dismissal of this appeal." Accordingly, appellant requests that the appeal be abated to "save the parties' and the Court's resources . . . while the parties finalize the settlement."
Appellant's motion includes a certificate of conference stating that appellee, Beland Energy, LLC, is agreed to the relief requested in the motion. See Tex. R. App. P. 10.1(a)(5), 10.3(a)(2).
We grant appellant's motion and abate the appeal. Within forty-five (45) days of the date of this order, the parties are directed to file a motion to dismiss the appeal or a report advising the Court of the status of the proceedings. If the parties do not respond as directed, the case may be reinstated on the Court's active docket and the appeal will proceed under the applicable Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure.
The appeal is abated, treated as a closed case, and removed from this Court's active docket.
It is so ORDERED.
