                                     PER CURIAM ORDER

       In this original mandamus proceeding, Max B. Hanson complains of the trial court’s
November 13, 2013 order granting the motion of Marie-Claude L. Hanson to set aside the
parties’ mediated settlement agreement. The Honorable Robert K. Inselmann, Jr., presiding
judge of the County Court at Law No. 1, Angelina County, signed the order.
       Since the date of the order, the Honorable Joe Lee Register has been elected judge of the
County Court at Law No. 1. In an original proceeding under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure
52 in which a public officer is a party in an official capacity but ceases to hold office before the
proceeding is finally disposed of, this Court must abate the proceeding to allow the successor to
reconsider the original party’s decision. TEX. R. APP. P. 7.2(b). Accordingly,
       IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this original proceeding be, and hereby is, abated for
thirty days from the date of this order for Judge Register to reconsider the order of the prior
presiding judge.
       IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, after reconsideration, Judge Register shall cause this
court to be furnished a certified copy of a written order memorializing his ruling.
