                                     ORDER

      On July 16, 2019, appellant, Nissan Mexicana, S.A. de C.V., requested an

abatement of this accelerated appeal because the parties have reached a tentative

settlement that includes the resolution of all claims between the parties to the

accelerated appeal. The appellees, Melissa Sias, individually and as next friend of

Taylor J. Charles, and Taylor J. Charles, did not oppose an abatement.

                                        1
      We abate the appeal until August 23, 2019. If a settlement has been finalized

by that date, the parties are instructed to file a motion to reinstate and dismiss the

accelerated appeal in accordance with their settlement agreement. If the parties have

not finalized a settlement by that date, they are instructed to file a report informing

this Court about the status of the appeal and requesting an extension of the

abatement.

      Our Order of April 12, 2019, which stayed all further trial court proceedings

except for mediation, is lifted for the purpose of conducting further proceedings in

the trial court to effectuate the parties’ settlement agreement.

      ORDER ENTERED July 23, 2019.
