¶2The abatement was for a limited purpose. That purpose should have been accomplished and the record returned to the Court of Appeals. The trial court turned aside from the purpose of the abatement and held an evidentiary hearing at the request of appellant and forwarded the record of that hearing to the Court of Appeals. It does not appear that the purpose of the abatement was ever accomplished. The trial court acted beyond its authority under the circumstances. I concur.
