PATRICK MORAH, Appellant

V.

JAVED M. WARSI, Appellee

On Appeal from County Civil Court at Law No. 3

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 896446

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

            This is an appeal from a judgment signed January 7, 2008.  On December 18, 2008, this court abated the appeal because appellee petitioned for voluntary bankruptcy in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, under cause number 08-31793.  See Tex. R. App. P. 8.2. 

            Through the Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) system, the court has learned that the bankruptcy case was closed on January 29, 2010.  The parties failed to advise this court of the bankruptcy court action.

            On March 17, 2010, this court notified the parties that unless any party to the appeal filed a motion demonstrating good cause to retain the appeal within twenty days on or before March 29, 2010, this appeal would be dismissed for want of prosecution.  See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b).  No response was filed. 

            Accordingly, we reinstate the appeal and order it dismissed.

                                                                        PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Brown, Sullivan, and Christopher.
