ORDER On July 21, 2022, appellants Jeanine Bell and Sheila Petsch filed a motion to abate this appeal to allow the parties to sever a counterclaim and obtain a final judgment in the underlying case. On August 22, 2022, appellee filed a response stating he does not oppose appellants’ motion to abate “since a [f]inal [j]udgment should be soon filed with the Court.”
