247	32	Argument	Trial should be abated per Kallinen v. City of Houston (court may exercise sound discretion to abate). Like In re Tex. Collegiate Baseball League, damage theories remain fluid until underlying litigation concludes — 'little sense' to prepare for trial when damages not yet known. Cheatham outcome will determine: (1) full extent of Pohl's alleged damages, and (2) whether Pohl committed barratry, establishing Kassab's illegality, unclean hands, and other defenses. If Cheatham establishes barratry, Pohl cannot recover (Andrew Shebay v. Bishop) and Kassab would be entitled to attorney's fees plus disgorgement. U.S. Fire Ins. Co. v. Millard supports abatement when claims could be rendered moot.
