TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE FIRST COURT OF APPEALS:

       Appellant’s Counsel respectfully requests that the Court to enter an order abating the

pending appeal and in support of that request would show unto this Court as follows:

                                                  I.

       Appellant filed Notice of Appeal on the day before the case was set for entry of judgment

in the trial court. On the day in question the final decree of divorce was not entered or signed by

the court. The proceeding were reset to another date for entry and due to unforeseen

circumstances that entry also did not occur. The case was then reset to April 17th, 2015 for the

entry of a final judgement but unfortunately that entry date was also reset to May 15th, 2015.

                                                 II.

As a result of the above described issues a final appealable judgment has not been entered by the

trial court at this time. It is Appellant’s belief at this time that the decree has been signed by the

Court. The request for the supplementation of the Clerk's record is being filed at the same time as

 this request. Appellant request the Court to extend the time of the abatement for a few days to

       allow for the completion of the clerk's record so that it may be filed with this Court.

                                        V. CONCLUSION
       For the reasons stated above, Appellant respectfully requests that this court enter an order

abating this appeal pending further notice from the parties and action from the trial court.

                                                      Respectfully Submitted,
