                   TK HANKS LP AND PALOMA CAPITAL, LLC,

                                            v.

                           ENERFIN FIELD SERVICES LLC,

                                                        Appellee.

                    APPELLEE’S UNOPPOSED MOTION TO
                    ABATE APPEAL PENDING SETTLEMENT

              Enerfin Field Services LLC, the appellee, moves to abate this appeal

temporarily to permit the parties time to document their settlement properly. Enerfin

shows:

              The parties have reached an agreement settling this matter, but need time

to document their agreement.

              TK Hanks LP and Paloma Capital, LLC, filed their appellants’ brief on

December 30, 2014. Enerfin’s brief is due January 30, 2015. The parties have now

reached an agreement to settle this matter. The parties need time to prepare appropriate

documents setting out their agreement. The parties wish to avoid the unnecessary effort

and expense associated with further briefing while maintaining the status quo until that
occurs. The parties anticipate jointly filing papers seeking final disposition of this case

once the settlement has been consummated.

                                      CONCLUSION

              The court should abate this appeal because the parties have reached an

agreement resolving their dispute and need time to prepare appropriate documents related

to that agreement.

                                           Respectfully submitted,

                                            /s/ Roy L. Barnes
