NO. D-1-GN-05-003660, HONORABLE DARLENE BYRNE, JUDGE PRESIDING

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

	Appellants have filed an unopposed motion asking this Court to abate the appeal and
stating that the trial court has dismissed the underlying suit filed by appellees.  Appellants ask that
the cause be abated rather than dismissed until the time has passed for appellees to file a motion to
reinstate and the trial court loses plenary power. 
	We grant the motion and abate the appeal for sixty days.  Appellants are ordered to
file a report in this Court no later than February 25, 2009, explaining the status of the underlying case
and, if appropriate, moving to dismiss the cause.
