No. 08-08-00087-CV Appeal from the 109th Judicial District Court of Winkler County, Texas (TC# 15,085)

MEMORANDUM OPINION

            Pending before the Court is Appellants’ motion to reinstate this appeal and to dismiss one party. We previously abated the appeal as a result of the filing of a suggestion of bankruptcy as to Appellee Tronox Worldwide, LLC. On April 7, 2011, Tronox notified the Court that the claims asserted by Appellants against it had been discharged in bankruptcy. Appellants then filed their motion to reinstate the appeal and to dismiss Tronox. Appellants state that they have conferred with Appellees and that Appellees are not opposed to the motion. Accordingly, the motion is granted. This appeal is reinstated on the docket of this Court. Further, the appeal is dismissed as to Tronox only. See Tex.R.App.P. 42.1(b).
