DAVID JOACHIM, Appellant
V.
FRIEDMAN & FEIGER, L.L.P., Appellee
On Appeal from the 160th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DC-14-13421
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Schenck, Reichek, and Carlyle
Opinion by Justice Reichek
We reinstate this appeal. In August 2019, we abated this case due to the
suggestion of bankruptcy filed by Joachim. See TEX. R. APP. P. 8.2.
An independent review of the federal Public Access to Court Electronic
Records (PACER) system shows no pending bankruptcy proceeding associated with
this appeal. We notified the parties by letter dated May 7, 2021, requesting they
inform the Court of the status of this appeal. When no one responded, we then sent
a second letter, dated July 21, 2021, informing the parties that the appeal would be
reinstated and dismissed for want of prosecution within ten days unless we heard
from either party. See id. 42.3(b),(c). To date, no party has responded.
Because we gave the parties an opportunity to show why we should not
dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution and no one responded, we dismiss this
appeal. See id. 42.3(b), (c); Gibbs v. Bank One, Tex., 2021 WL 1747855, at *1 (Tex.
App.—Dallas May 4, 2021, no pet.) (mem. op.).
