MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellants have filed an unopposed motion to abate the appeal. They state that the underlying dispute may become moot within the next 60 to 90 days but the timing remains unclear. Accordingly, we grant the motion and abate the appeal. All appellate deadlines will be tolled during the period of abatement. Absent further order of this Court, this appeal will be automatically reinstated on July 15, 2013. The parties are directed to file either a status report or a motion to dismiss by that date. __________________________________________ Melissa Goodwin, Justice Before Chief Justice Jones, Justices Goodwin and Field Abated Filed: April 18, 2013
