       Fluor Enterprises, Inc., appellant, and Kevin Goats, Lori Goats and Afshin

“Sean” Farshad, appellees, jointly filed an agreed order to abate this accelerated

appeal and remand the case to the trial court for further proceedings to effectuate the

parties’ settlement agreement. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.1(a)(2)(C).

      We grant the parties’ motion and abate the appeal until July 27, 2018. See Tex.

R. App. P. 42.1(a)(2)(C). If a settlement has been finalized by that date, the parties

                                          1
are instructed to file a motion to reinstate and to dismiss the accelerated appeal in

accordance with their settlement agreement. If the parties have not finalized a

settlement by that date, they are instructed to file a report informing this Court about

the status of the appeal and requesting an extension of the abatement.

      Our Order of April 18, 2018, which stayed all further trial court proceedings,

is lifted for the purpose of conducting further proceedings in the trial court to

effectuate the parties’ settlement agreement.
