Hugh Forrest v. Technical and General Guaranty Co., S.A.

Appeal Dismissed and Memorandum Opinion filed November 17, 2015. In The Fourteenth Court of Appeals NO. 14-14-00257-CV HUGH FORREST, Appellant V. TECHNICAL AND GENERAL GUARANTY CO., S.A., Appellee On Appeal from the 165th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 2012-10725 MEMORANDUM OPINION This is an appeal from a judgment signed October 1, 2013. On June 4, 2014, this court abated the appeal because appellee petitioned for voluntary bankruptcy in the First Court of Geneva, Switzerland. See Tex. R. App. P. 8.2. Since the abatement, neither party has sought reinstatement or otherwise advised this court of the status of the bankruptcy proceeding. Therefore, on October 15, 2015, this court issued an order stating that unless any party to the appeal filed a motion demonstrating good cause to retain the appeal within twenty days of the date of the order, this appeal would be dismissed for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b). No response was filed. Accordingly, we reinstate the appeal and order it dismissed. PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Jamison, McCally, and Wise. 2
