       Before the Court is the “Real Parties in Interest’s Unopposed Motion to Abate Original

Proceeding and Suspend All Briefing Deadlines.” In the motion, the real parties in interest

inform the Court that the underlying proceeding has been transferred to Probate Court No. 2,

from the Court’s active docket until further order of this Court to allow the presiding judge of

Probate Court No. 2 to reconsider and rule on the March 21, 2019 discovery order.           We

SUSPEND all briefing deadlines in this proceeding. This Court’s April 5, 2019 stay of the

March 21, 2019 discovery order remains in effect.
       The parties shall timely notify this Court of all events affecting the status of this case,

including when the presiding judge of Probate Court No. 2 has ruled on the March 21, 2019

discovery order. We ORDER the parties to file either a status report or appropriate motion with

this Court by August 23, 2019.
