Adolfo R. s
Fourth Court of Appeals
San Antonio, Texas
October 20, 2014
No. 04-14-00515-CV
SPECIALTY SELECT CARE CENTER OF SAN ANTONIO d/b/a Casa Rio Healthcare and
Rehabilitation,
Appellant
v.
Adolfo R. JUIEL et al,
Appellee
From the 150th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2014-CI-04911
Honorable Karen H. Pozza, Judge Presiding
ORDER
Sitting: Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice
Marialyn Barnard, Justice
Rebeca C. Martinez, Justice
This is an accelerated appeal from an interlocutory order denying appellant’s motion to
compel arbitration. TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE ANN. § 51.016 (West Supp. 2013). Appellant
has filed an unopposed motion to abate this appeal because one of the issues presented in the
appeal is the same issue pending in petitions for review filed in Williamsburg Care Co. L.P. v.
Acosta, 406 S.W.3d 711 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 2013, pet. filed), Fredericksburg Care Co.
L.P. v. Lira, 407 S.W.3d 810 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 2013, pet. filed), and Fredericksburg
Care Co. L.P. v. Perez, 406 S.W.3d 313 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 2013, pet. filed). In light of
the pending higher court review of the precedent previously established by this court, this court
has determined that abating this appeal pending the Texas Supreme Court’s resolution of the
issue will likely achieve the greatest judicial efficiency.
Accordingly, appellant’s motion to abate is GRANTED. For administrative purposes,
this appeal will be treated as a closed case, unless and until appellant files a motion requesting its
reinstatement following the Texas Supreme Court’s resolution of the issue.
Appellees’ motion for an extension of time in which to file a brief is MOOT.
