                           On Appeal from the
           126th Judicial District Court of Travis County, Texas

               REPORT REGARDING STATUS OF ABATEMENT

TO THE HONORABLE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS:
     Consistent with the Court’s order of March 4, 2015, the Comptroller

files this report. The parties have reached an agreement and are in the

process of obtaining signatures on the settlement agreement. They have

undertaken to file a motion to dismiss the appeal once payment of the

settlement amount is issued through the Comptroller’s fraud-waste-and-

abuse process and has been cashed by the plaintiff. The Comptroller asks that

the Court continue the abatement in place until completion of payment,

                                      1
which could take around 45 days from the date all signatures are made to the

compromise and settlement agreement.

                                 PRAYER

     The Court should continue the abatement of the appeal until the

payment issues and is cashed by the plaintiff.

                                      2
Respectfully submitted,

KEN PAXTON
