Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-14-01586-CV
BRIDGET PARSON, Appellant
V.
US BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, Appellee
On Appeal from the 101st Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DC-14-09716
ORDER
On January 9, 2015 appellant filed her Emergency Motion for Temporary Injunction,
Automatic Stay Prohibiting Foreclosure Sale Pending Litigation. In her emergency motion,
appellant sought affirmative relief from this court staying a pending foreclosure sale, but did not
advise the court that she had filed a petition in bankruptcy court prior to seeking relief in this
court. We denied appellant’s emergency motion by written order dated January 12, 2015.
Thereafter appellee notified the Court appellant filed a prior voluntary bankruptcy
petition under chapter 13 of the United States Bankruptcy Code on January 5, 2015. To date,
appellant has not advised the Court of the status of her bankruptcy but continues to file pleadings
in this case seeking affirmative relief, including most recently her January 21, 2015 motion for
reconsideration.
Based on the notice of bankruptcy, we VACATE our January 12, 2015 order denying
appellant’s Emergency Motion for Temporary Injunction, Automatic Stay Prohibiting
Foreclosure Sale Pending Litigation and further VACATE our January 23, 2015 order denying
reconsideration of our January 12, 2015 .
Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 362 further action in this cause is automatically stayed until
further order of the bankruptcy court. See TEX. R. APP. P. 8.2. Accordingly, for administrative
purposes, this case is ABATED and will be treated as a closed case. It may be reinstated on
prompt motion by any party showing that the stay has been lifted and specifying what further
action, if any, is required from this Court. See Tex. R. App. P. 8.3.
We will take no further action on appellant’s Emergency Motion for Temporary
Injunction, Automatic Stay Prohibiting Foreclosure Sale Pending Litigation, on her motion for
reconsideration, or on any other requests for affirmative relief filed by appellant in this case
pending a showing that the automatic stay has been lifted.
We caution appellant that although she is proceeding pro se in this matter, she has a duty
of candor to this Court and any further failure by appellant to advise the Court of relevant facts
regarding this proceeding will result in all appropriate sanctions.
