INSPECTION AND CONSULTING
SERVICES, INC., Appellee.
On appeal from the 156th District Court
of San Patricio County, Texas
ORDER ABATING APPEAL
Before Justices Rodriguez, Benavides, and Perkes
Order Per Curiam
This cause is before the Court on the record and appellant’s unopposed motion to
abate or alternative first motion to extend time to file brief. Appellant’s motion states the
parties have reached a tentative agreement to settle the case which would moot this
appeal; however the parties anticipate they will not be able to complete the paperwork to
finalize the settlement until September 1, 2016. Appellant requests this Court abate the
appeal to finalize the settlement.
The Court, having examined and fully considered the documents on file and the
unopposed motion to abate, is of the opinion that the motion to abate the appeal to finalize
settlement should be granted. The motion to abate the appeal pending settlement is
GRANTED and this appeal is ordered ABATED until September 1, 2016. Appellant’s
motion in the alternative to extend the briefing deadline is, accordingly, DISMISSED AS
MOOT.
The Court directs appellant to file, on or before September 1, 2016, either (1) a
motion to reinstate the appeal, accompanied by appellant’s brief in this matter, or (2) a
motion to dismiss the appeal pursuant to settlement.
