       ALS 88 Design Build, LLC filed a notice of interlocutory appeal after the trialClerk
                                                                                       court denied its

motion to dismiss MOAB Construction Company’s claims pursuant to Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code

§150.002(b) & (e), on the ground that the certificate of merit filed by MOAB to support its claims failed

to comply with the mandatory requirements of §150.002(b).

       ALS 88 Design Build, LLC filed a motion to stay the jury trial of the case which was denied by

this Court and the case proceeded to trial; a jury returned a verdict in favor of MOAB Construction

Company, Inc. and ALS 88 Design Build, LLC filed an amended notice of appeal to include the merits of

MOAB’s claims, although judgment on the jury verdict has not yet been entered. ALS 88 Design Build,

LLC filed a Motion for Judgment NOV which is set for hearing on April 8, 2015. MOAB Construction

Company, Inc.’s Motion to Enter Judgment is also set for hearing on April 8, 2015.

       ALS 88 Design Build, LLC moves to abate this appeal pending the trial court’s consideration of

ALS 88 Design Build, LLC’s Motion for Judgment NOV and MOAB’s Motion to Enter Judgment, and

further moves to extend the deadline to file complete copies of the clerk’s record and the reporter’s

record as necessary.
     Respectfully submitted this the 3rd day of April, 2015.
