HOTTLE Clerk TK HANKS LP AND PALOMA CAPITAL, LLC, Appellants, v. ENERFIN FIELD SERVICES LLC, Appellee. APPELLEE’S UNOPPOSED MOTION TO ABATE APPEAL PENDING SETTLEMENT Enerfin Field Services LLC, the appellee, moves to abate this appeal temporarily to permit the parties time to document their settlement properly. Enerfin shows: The parties have reached an agreement settling this matter, but need time to document their agreement. TK Hanks LP and Paloma Capital, LLC, filed their appellants’ brief on December 30, 2014. Enerfin’s brief is due January 30, 2015. The parties have now reached an agreement to settle this matter. The parties need time to prepare appropriate documents setting out their agreement. The parties wish to avoid the unnecessary effort and expense associated with further briefing while maintaining the status quo until that occurs. The parties anticipate jointly filing papers seeking final disposition of this case once the settlement has been consummated. CONCLUSION The court should abate this appeal because the parties have reached an agreement resolving their dispute and need time to prepare appropriate documents related to that agreement.
