J.J. INVESTMENT COMPANY, L.T.D., Appellee
On Appeal from the 62nd District Court
Franklin County, Texas
Trial Court No. 10,072
Before Morriss, C.J., Carter and Moseley, JJ.
ORDER
This Court has been notified that a party in an appeal pending before this Court, Frank
Keathley, filed a voluntary petition for bankruptcy on April 28, 2014, in the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Tyler Division, under cause number 14-
20066. Pursuant to 11 U.S.C.A. § 362 (West, Westlaw current through Mar. 25, 2014), further
action in this cause is automatically stayed, and the appeal is suspended. See TEX. R. APP. P. 8.2.
Accordingly, for administrative purposes, this case is abated and will be treated as closed.
Any party may reinstate by promptly filing a motion with an attached certified copy of the order
showing that the automatic bankruptcy stay has been lifted or terminated and specifying what
further action, if any, is required from this Court. In the event of reinstatement, any period that
began to run and had not expired at the time of suspension will begin anew when the proceeding
is reinstated. Any document filed while the proceeding is suspended will be deemed filed on the
same day, but after, the Court reinstates the appeal. TEX. R. APP. P. 8.2, 8.3.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
