HELENA CHEMICAL COMPANY, Appellee From the 40th District Court Ellis County, Texas Trial Court No. 75290 MEMORANDUM OPINION This appeal was abated for mediation on November 5, 2008. The parties were ordered to attempt to agree upon a mediator within 14 days from the date of the abatement order.

See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(b). It has been more than 7 days and we have not received a status report. Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed.
