ORDER OF ABATEMENT
_______________________________
Before QUINN, C.J., and CAMPBELL and PIRTLE, JJ.
Dawn Gayken, D.D.S. (appellant) appeals the trial court’s order granting a bill of
review to appellee. This court has received notice from appellant’s counsel that appellant
has filed a voluntary petition as debtor under the United States Bankruptcy Code. Said
notice included a faxed file-marked document from the United States Bankruptcy Court,
Southern District of Texas, Houston Division. Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 362, any further
action in this appeal is automatically stayed.
Under these circumstances, and for administrative purposes, this appeal is removed
from the docket of this court and abated. The appeal will be reinstated upon proper motion
showing that the stay has been lifted or that the court may otherwise proceed with the
disposition of the cause.
Accordingly, the appeal is abated.
