Bedford Ikechukwu Umezulike, Doris Nneka Umezulike, and Amaka Umezulike v. Eric Umeh and Emaido Hailey
Probate Court of Galveston County No. PR-0081558-A
ORDER OF ABATEMENT
RICHARD HIGHTOWER, JUDGE
Appellants' brief was originally due on May 25, 2022. The Court granted two extensions of time to file the brief until August 23, 2022. When it granted the last motion for extension, the Court stated that no further extensions would be granted. On August 23, 2022, appellants filed their third motion for extension, advising the Court of settlement at mediation and requesting an additional 60 days so that the parties may memorialize the terms of their settlement agreement. Appellees do not oppose the motion.
The Court orders the appeal abated for 60 days so that the parties may finalize their settlement agreement. The Court directs the parties to file a status update within 60 days of the date this order issues to advise the Court of the status of its settlement agreement or to submit a motion to dismiss. The Court may reinstate the appeal on its own motion if the parties fail to update the Court on the status of their settlement.
It is so ORDERED.
