Trial Court Cause No. 429-53564-2013

ORDER
By motion filed June 19, 2014, the parties inform the Court that they have settled their
differences in this suit and jointly move to (1) abate the appeal to permit proceedings in the trial
court to effectuate the agreement and (2) dismiss the appeal. See TEX. R. CIV. P.
42.1(a)(1),(2)(C). We GRANT the parties’ request to abate the appeal and ORDER the trial
court to conduct such proceedings as necessary to effectuate the parties’ agreement. We further
ORDER the parties to file a status report of the trial court proceedings within thirty days of the
date of this order. Upon notification that the trial court’s proceedings have concluded, the Court
will determine the parties’ request to dismiss the appeal. We caution the parties that failure to
timely file the status report may result in the motion to dismiss being denied and reinstatement of
the appellate deadlines.
We DIRECT the Clerk of the Court to send a copy of this order to the Honorable Jill
Willis, Presiding Judge of the 429th Judicial District Court of Collin County, Texas and all
counsel of record.
We ABATE the appeal to allow the trial court to comply with this order. The appeal will
be reinstated thirty-five days from the date of this order or when the status report is filed,
whichever occurs sooner.
