PER CURIAM
Sitting: Sandee Bryan Marion, Chief Justice
Karen Angelini, Justice
Marialyn Barnard, Justice
Delivered and Filed: September 9, 2015
DISMISSED
This is an appeal of a trial court’s order imposing sanctions against Brad Croft, individually
and as Trustee of the Willawall Investments Trust. By order dated December 12, 2012, this appeal
was abated based on an automatic stay arising from a bankruptcy petition filed by Croft.
On August 6, 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. By order dated August 10, 2015, this court denied AMS’s motion because: (1) the
04-11-00573-CV
bankruptcy court order attached to AMS’s motion approved the sale of Croft’s rights in this appeal
to “Clifton L. Lowry, on behalf of Lowry Creditors,” not to AMS; and (2) Croft filed the appeal
in both his individual capacity and as trustee of the Willawall Investments Trust. Because the
bankruptcy court’s order conveyed Croft’s appellate rights, however, we reinstated the appeal on
our docket since the appeal was no longer subject to the bankruptcy court’s automatic stay.
On August 21, 2015, Clifton L. Lowry filed a motion to substitute himself as appellant
based on the bankruptcy court’s order and requested this court to dismiss this appeal. In his
motion, Lowry noted the bankruptcy court held the Willawall Investments Trust was Croft’s alter
ego and attached a copy of the bankruptcy court’s opinion to the motion. The motion is granted,
and this appeal is dismissed. Costs of the appeal are taxed against appellant.
