                                   ORDER
      Appellants have filed in this court an agreed motion to abate this appeal and
enlarge the appellate deadlines. In the motion, Appellants state that Appellees and
Appellant Jennie Bishop Cherry have agreed to settle the controversy between them
and that an abatement is sought to provide them with time to execute the necessary
documents. Appellant Jack Lee Bishop joins in the request for an abatement and
asks this court to extend the deadline for the filing of his brief. Appellees’ attorney
agreed to the motion.
        The motion is granted, and the appeal is abated. The parties are instructed to
notify this court immediately if they enter into a final settlement agreement and to
file an appropriate motion in this court based upon any such agreement. If the parties
have not notified this court on or before July 30, 2019, that a final settlement
agreement has been reached, this proceeding will be reinstated and Appellants’ brief
will be due thirty days after reinstatement.
        We grant the agreed motion and abate the appeal.

                                                                   PER CURIAM
