MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-11-00304-CV
Bradley L. CROFT,
Appellant
v.
AMS SA MANAGEMENT, LLC, dba Association Management Services,
Appellee
From the 285th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2009-CI-15857
Honorable Peter A. Sakai, Judge Presiding
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Sandee Bryan Marion, Chief Justice
Karen Angelini, Justice
Marialyn Barnard, Justice
Delivered and Filed: September 9, 2015
APPEAL DISMISSED
This is an appeal of a trial court’s order imposing sanctions against Bradley Croft. By
order dated January 7, 2013, this appeal was abated based on an automatic stay arising from a
bankruptcy petition filed by Croft. On August 5, 2015, appellee AMS SA Management, LLC d/b/a
Association Management Services filed a motion to dismiss this appeal, asserting it had purchased
all of Croft’s rights in this appeal. Attached to the appellee’s motion was a bankruptcy order
approving the sale of Croft’s rights in this appeal to “Clifton L. Lowry, on behalf of Lowry
Creditors,” not to AMS SA Management, LLC.
04-11-00304-CV
Because the bankruptcy court’s order conveyed Croft’s appellate rights, Croft’s appeal was
no longer subject to the bankruptcy court’s automatic stay. Therefore, on August 10, 2015, this
court issued an order reinstating this appeal on the docket of this court. In that same order,
however, we ordered that appellee AMS SA Management, LLC’s motion to dismiss be held in
abeyance to allow AMS SA Management, LLC the opportunity to provide this court with proof
that it purchased all of Croft’s rights in this appeal and to show it has authority to move to dismiss
Croft’s appeal.
On August 20, 2015, Clifton L. Lowry filed a Motion for Substitution of Party and to
Dismiss Appeal. Attached to the motion is the bankruptcy trustee’s Report of Sale of Personal
Property to Clifton L. Lowry.
We grant the motion. Clifton L. Lowry is substituted for Bradley Croft as appellant in this
appeal. TEX. R. APP. P. 7.1(b). The appeal is dismissed. TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(A).
