Opinion

Dismiss and Opinion Filed June 7, 2021

In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-17-00976-CV

JOSEPH ABUZAID, Appellant V. MODJARRAD & ASSOCIATES, P.C., D/B/A MAS LAW FIRM, Appellee

On Appeal from the 95th District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. DC-16-06551

MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Myers, Partida-Kipness, and Garcia Opinion by Justice Myers We reinstate this appeal. In 2018, we abated this case due to Joseph Abuzaid’s

bankruptcy. See TEX. R. APP. P. 8.2. The Court conducted an independent review of

the federal Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) system which

shows the bankruptcy case associated with this appeal was terminated on November

30, 2020, effectively dissolving the automatic stay.

We notified the parties by letter, requesting they inform the Court of the status

of the bankruptcy and of this appeal. We cautioned that the failure to respond would

result in the appeal being dismissed for want of prosecution. See id. 42.3(b),(c). To

date, neither party has responded. Because we gave the parties an opportunity to show why we should not

dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution and no one responded, we dismiss this

appeal. See id. 42.3(b),(c); Brewer v. Admiral Ins. Co., 2002 WL 31312990, at *1

(Tex. App.—Dallas Oct. 16, 2002, no writ) (per curiam) (not designated for

publication).
