       On September 21, 2012, the parties notified this court that the parties had reached an
agreement to settle the issues in this original proceeding, and requested abatement of the
proceeding for completion of the settlement. The motion is granted. Accordingly, we
issue the following order.

       The original proceeding is abated, treated as a closed case, and removed from this
court’s active docket until December 3, 2012. The proceeding will be reinstated on this
court’s active docket at that time, or when the parties file a motion to dismiss the
proceeding or other dispositive motion. The court will also consider an appropriate
motion to reinstate filed by either party, or the court may reinstate the proceeding on its
own motion.
