STEVEN K. TOPLETZ,
APPELLANT
vs.
URSA EQUITY CORPORATION,
APPELLEE
FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 201ST JUDICIAL DISTRICT
NO. 408,932, HONORABLE JOE B. DIBRELL, JR., JUDGE PRESIDING
PER CURIAM
The district court rendered judgment on March 27, 1987, for appellee Ursa Equity Corporation and against appellant Steven K. Topletz. Topletz perfected his appeal on April 24, 1987, and filed for bankruptcy on July 7, 1987. In re Topletz, No. 87-11341 (Bankr. W.D. Tex.). Topletz was discharged from bankruptcy on December 5, 1988. (1)
In a letter dated June 1, 1992, Topletz contends that any claims belonging to Ursa have been terminated by the discharge in bankruptcy. Ursa has not responded. Accordingly, the Court dismisses the appeal on the Court's own motion.
The Court notes that its orders of August 12, 1987 (motion nos. CV-21,507 and CV-21,508) and September 9, 1987 (motion no. CV-21,570) are void as violative of the automatic stay in bankruptcy. See 11 U.S.C. § 362 (1988).
