We construe Nationstar Mortgage’s motion as a motion to abate. We grant the motion and abate the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.1(a)(2)(C). The parties shall submit either a joint status report concerning the status of the settlement negotiations or a motion to dismiss on or before October 31, 2019.
