ORDER
Appellant, Rosa Serrano, has filed a motion requesting that the court reporter prepare and
file the reporter’s record for the above-styled and numbered appeal. In a related case, cause
number 08-15-00290-CV, Serrano filed a motion in which she states that she removed the
underlying case, cause number 2012DCV06341, to federal court on June 16, 2016 pursuant to 28
U.S.C.A. §1446. The Court has reviewed the clerk’s record and notes that it includes a copy of
the notice of removal filed by Serrano on July 22, 2016 in cause number 2012DCV06341
(federal cause number EP-16-0203-DB). The Court has obtained a copy of an order entered by
the federal court reciting that the court dismissed cause number EP-16-0203-DB on August 31,
2016. The case is currently on appeal to the Fifth Circuit (cause number 16-51335).
Even though it is unclear whether jurisdiction of this appeal has been removed to federal
court, we will abate the appeal out of an abundance of caution. All appellate deadlines are
stayed. No action will be taken on any pending motions, including Serrano’s motion for the
court reporter to prepare and file the record. The parties are directed to keep the Court informed
1
regarding the status of cause numbers EP-16-CV-0203-DB and 16-51335. Further, Serrano is
ordered to provide the Court with a copy of the Fifth Circuit’s order, judgment, or opinion
disposing of cause number 16-51335.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 8th day of December, 2016.
