RWS TRANSPORT, L.P. D/B/A REPUBLIC WASTE SERVICES AND
BOBBY R. MATHEWS, Appellants
V.
KARLA KEITH, Appellee
On Appeal from the 23rd District Court
Brazoria County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 50809
MEMORANDUM OPINION
On January 27, 2014, the parties filed an agreed motion, representing that
the parties had reached a settlement agreement and requesting that the Court abate
this appeal and permit proceedings in the trial court, as necessary, to effectuate
their agreement. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(2)(C). On February 13, 2014, this
Court granted the motion, abated the appeal, and remanded the cause to permit
proceedings in the trial court. See id. In the abatement order, we advised the
parties that a motion to reinstate and dismiss the appeal must be filed no later than
April 14, 2014 or, if the agreement was not finalized by that date, appellants were
required file a report with this Court regarding the status of the proceedings in the
trial court and requesting an extension of the abatement. We also notified the
parties that failure to file a motion to reinstate and dismiss the appeal or a status
report by April 14, 2014 would result in dismissal of the appeal, without further
notice. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c). Neither party has filed a motion to reinstate
and dismiss the appeal or a status report with this Court.
Accordingly, we lift the abatement ordered by this Court on February 13,
2014, reinstate the appeal, and dismiss the appeal. We dismiss any pending
motions as moot.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Jennings, Higley, and Sharp.
