Fourteenth Court of Appeals ____________

NO. 14-22-00261-CV ____________

RONALD WILSON, ET. AL., Appellants

V.

NEW RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE, LLC, Appellee

On Appeal from the 55th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 2020-10700

ABATEMENT ORDER

Notice was filed on October 6, 2022 that appellant, Brian F. Wilson, is in bankruptcy. Tex. R. App. P. 8.1. According to the notice, on September 16, 2022, appellant Brian F. Wilson, petitioned for voluntary bankruptcy protection in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas under case number 22-32732. 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.

PER CURIAM

Panel Consists of Chief Justice Christopher and Justices Wise and Hassan.
