On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Yañez and Benavides Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

This petition for writ of mandamus was abated by this Court on August 8, 2002, due to the bankruptcy of one of the parties to this appeal. See 11 U.S.C. § 362; see generally Tex. R. App. P. 8. Since the abatement there has been no activity in this proceeding. On January 15, 2009, the Court ordered the parties to file a status advisory and, if applicable, a motion to reinstate or a motion to dismiss. The order notified the parties that failure to respond to the order would result in reinstatement and dismissal for want of prosecution.

The parties have failed to respond. Accordingly, we reinstate the original mandamus proceeding and dismiss the petition for writ of mandamus for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b).

PER CURIAM

Memorandum Opinion delivered and filed
