On July 16, 2019, appellant, Nissan Mexicana, S.A. de C.V., requested an

accelerated appeal in accordance with their settlement agreement. If the parties have

not finalized a settlement by that date, they are instructed to file a report informing

this Court about the status of the appeal and requesting an extension of the

abatement.

Our Order of April 12, 2019, which stayed all further trial court proceedings

except for mediation, is lifted for the purpose of conducting further proceedings in

the trial court to effectuate the parties’ settlement agreement.
