v.

Don LEESEBURG and Carla M. Leeseburg, Appellees

From the 150th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2012-CI-16610 Honorable Solomon Casseb, III, Judge Presiding

ORDER In this restricted appeal, the appellate record was complete on June 18, 2014; Appellants’ brief is due to be filed by July 18, 2014. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.6(a). On June 24, 2014, Appellants filed a motion for extension of time to file the brief. In their motion, Appellants state the parties have agreed to mediate this dispute, and they require sixty days for discovery and negotiations. On the court’s own motion, we ABATE this appeal for a period not to exceed SIXTY DAYS from the date of this order to allow the parties to reach a settlement. See id. R. 2; Transport Ins. Co. v. Faircloth, 898 S.W.2d 269, 280 (Tex. 1995) (public policy favors settlements). We ORDER Appellants to file in this court within SIXTY DAYS of the date of this order (1) a motion to dismiss the appeal or (2) a motion to reinstate the appeal on the court’s docket so that the appeal may proceed. Appellants’ motion for extension of time to file the brief is MOOT. All other appellate deadlines are SUSPENDED pending further order of this court.
