Appellate case name:      Fidelis Johnson Badaiki v. Steve Mckenzie, Schlumberger Holdings
                          Corporation et al

Appellate case number:    01-20-00778-CV

Trial court case number: 2020-16532

Trial court:              11th District Court of Harris County

       Appellant has filed a motion for supersedeas and a motion to set a zero bond for
supersedeas, asking that he not be required to post a bond to stay enforcement of the judgment
award for attorney’s fees and costs.
        The trial court may permit the judgment debtor to supersede the judgment. See TEX. R.
APP. P. 24.1. The amount of supersedeas shall be equal to the sum of compensatory damages,
interest, and costs awarded in the judgment. See TEX. R. APP. P. 24.2(a)(1).
       Accordingly, we abate this appeal and remand to the trial court for consideration of
appellant’s motions to suspend enforcement of the order awarding attorney’s fees and costs
pending disposition of this appeal. Appellant’s motions are attached to this order.
       The trial court shall hold a hearing within 30 days of the date of this order and make a
determination concerning the appropriate type and amount of security, if any, and see that a hearing
record and supplemental clerk’s record are filed containing the trial court’s order. The hearing
record and supplemental clerk’s record are due in this Court within 45 days of the date of this
order.
       This appeal may be reinstated on the active docket on the motion of any party or on the
Court’s own motion.
       It is so ORDERED.
