WEST INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT,

Appellee

From the 170th District Court

McLennan County, Texas

Trial Court No. 2014-1985-4

ABATEMENT ORDER

On October 26, 2016, appellants, Argonaut Insurance Company, Trident Insurance Services, L.L.C., and the Texas Association of Public Educators, filed their notice of interlocutory appeal in this matter. The following day, appellee, West Independent School District, filed a motion to dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction and a request for an expedited ruling. Approximately a week later, appellee informed this Court that the parties had reached a settlement and would be “forwarding copies of the settlement documents shortly.” Thereafter, on November 4, 2016, appellants filed an unopposed motion to abate this appeal to allow the parties to finalize their settlement agreement. Appellants specifically mentioned that the granting of this motion “would almost certainly lead to the end of this case.” After review, we grant appellants’ unopposed motion to abate. Accordingly, this appeal is hereby abated until further order from this Court.
