This matter is before the Court on appellant’s “Motion to Abate Appeal and Order

REMAND the cause to the trial court for the purposes of conducting a hearing regarding

this issue. The trial court should prepare findings of fact and conclusions of law and

include them in a supplemental clerk's record. Furthermore, the trial court shall cause a

supplemental reporter's record of any proceedings to be prepared. The supplemental

clerk's record and supplemental reporter's record, if any, shall be filed with the Clerk of

this Court on or before the expiration thirty days from the date of this order.

It is so ORDERED.
