MEMORANDUM OPINION
PER CURIAM
On November 20, 2020, we abated this appeal after granting Appellants’ unopposed
motion for a 30-day abatement. We instructed the parties to file either a status report or motion to
dismiss by the end of the abatement period.
The parties have filed their Joint Status Report and Request for Extension of
Abatement. In it, they seek an extension of the abatement to January 4, 2021, explaining that
they are continuing “working . . . to determine whether the underlying case can be dismissed
by agreement.”
The Court grants the parties’ request for an abatement extension and extends the
abatement until January 4, 2021. The parties are ordered to file another status report, or a motion
to dismiss, by that date.
