On Appeal from the 61st District Court Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 2013-08724

ABATEMENT ORDER

Notice was filed on October 31, 2013, that appellants, Goldking Holdings, LLC, and Goldking Onshore Operating, LLC, are in bankruptcy.1 Tex. R. App. P. 8.1. According to the notice, on October 30, 2013, appellants petitioned for voluntary bankruptcy protection in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware under case number 13-12820-BLS. A bankruptcy suspends the appeal from the date when the bankruptcy petition is filed until the appellate court reinstates the appeal in accordance with federal law. Tex. R. App. P. 8.2. Accordingly, we ORDER the appeal abated.

When a case has been suspended by a bankruptcy filing, a party may move the appellate court to reinstate the appeal if permitted by federal law or the bankruptcy court. Tex. R. App. P. 8.3. If the bankruptcy court has lifted or terminated the stay, a certified copy of the order must be attached to the motion. Id. A party filing a motion to reinstate shall specify what further action, if any, is required from this court when the appeal is reinstated. See Tex. R. App. P. 10.1(a).

For administrative purposes only, and without surrendering jurisdiction, the appeal is abated and treated as a closed case until further order of this court.
