FROM COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 2 OF TRAVIS COUNTY
NO. 279,045; HONORABLE ORLINDA NARANJO, JUDGE PRESIDING
UNOPPOSED MOTION TO REINSTATE PENDING APPEAL
1. Appellant/Cross-Appellee Mohammad Hadi Gharbi filed a chapter 11
bankruptcy petition on June 2, 2008, being Case No. 08-11023-TMD, In Re
Mohammad H. Gharbi and Fatemeh Gharbi, in the United States Bankruptcy
Court for the Western District of Texas, Austin Division (the “Bankruptcy Case”).
Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §362, the pending appeal was stayed.
2. The chapter 11 case was subsequently converted to a chapter 7 case.
C. Daniel Roberts (“Trustee”) is the duly appointed chapter 7 bankruptcy trustee
for the Bankruptcy Case. A true and correct copy of the Order Combined With
Notice evidencing the filing of the Bankruptcy Case, conversion of the case to a
chapter 7 proceeding and appointment of C. Daniel Roberts as Trustee is attached
hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.
3. Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §541, property of the bankruptcy estate includes
all legal or equitable interests of the debtor in property as of the commencement of
the bankruptcy case. Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §704, it is Trustee’s duty to administer
property of the bankruptcy estate. Accordingly, Trustee “stepped into the shoes”
of the Appellant/Cross-Appellee in the appeal.
4. On May 27, 2010, the Court issued its Memorandum Opinion
confirming that the appeal was stayed. The Memorandum Opinion provides that
any party may file a motion to reinstate upon the occurrence of an event that would
allow the appeal to proceed.
5. On December 4, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court signed and docketed an
agreed order modifying the automatic stay (“Agreed Order Modifying Stay”) to
allow the appeal to continue. A true and correct copy of the Agreed Order
Modifying Stay is attached hereto as Exhibit B and incorporated herein by
reference for all purposes.
6. All briefs were previously timely filed in the appeal. The parties
previously waived oral argument.
WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, C. Daniel Roberts, Trustee,
the Appellant/Cross-Appellee in the above captioned and numbered appeal by
