v.

City of Houston, Appellee

FROM THE 53RD DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY
NO. D-1-GN-20-003520, THE HONORABLE TIM SULAK, JUDGE PRESIDING

MEMORANDUM OPINION

PER CURIAM

On December 23, 2020, we extended the abatement of this appeal to January 4,

2021, at the parties’ request. We instructed the parties to file either a status report or motion to

dismiss by January 4.

The parties have filed their Joint Status Report and Second Request for Extension

of Abatement. In it, they seek an extension of the abatement to be able to file either an updated

status report or notice of agreed dismissal on or before January 18 while they “continue

working . . . to determine whether the underlying case can be dismissed by agreement.”

The Court grants the parties’ request for a second abatement extension and extends

the abatement through and including January 19, 2021. The parties are ordered to file another

status report, or a motion to dismiss, by that date.
