V.

EPIC LIFT SYSTEMS, LLC, Appellee

On Appeal from the 113th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 2018-63586

ABATEMENT ORDER

The parties filed a joint motion for a “thirty-day extension of all deadlines, including the current deadline for Appellant’s brief” in these appeals. The motion states the parties are in “good-faith settlement negotiations,” and they expect any resolution of the matter to occur within the next 30 days.

We GRANT the parties’ motion to extend and, on our own motion, we ABATE these appeals. The appeals are abated, treated as closed cases, and removed from this court’s active docket until April 1, 2019. The appeals will be reinstated on this court’s active docket at that time, or when a motion to reinstate or motion to dismiss the appeals is filed. The court may reinstate the appeals on its own motion.

If the appeal is not dismissed, appellant’s brief in each appeal will be due 20 days after that appeal is reinstated.
