518	66	XX. Denial of motion to abate	Court erroneously denied motion to abate pending Cheatham v. Pohl (civil barratry litigation, 1st COA). Two reasons: (1) if Cheatham resulted in barratry judgment against Pohl, he could not argue all barratry claims were frivolous; (2) Pohl sought attorney fees in this case for defending Cheatham while it was still ongoing — if found liable for barratry, Pohl would owe fees to plaintiffs. Denial allowed Pohl to take positions that substantially altered trial.
