       We REINSTATE this appeal.

       Before the Court is the parties’ June 19, 2013 agreed motion to continue abatement of

this accelerated appeal. The parties ask that the Court abate this appeal for 120 days while

appellant attempts to settle with a defendant who is not a party to this appeal. The parties inform

us that if appellant settles with that defendant, appellant and appellee will likely dismiss this

appeal. We DENY the parties’ June 19, 2013 agreed motion to continue abatement of this

accelerated appeal. Appellee’s brief is due on or before Monday, July 15, 2013.
