ORDER OF ABATEMENT
_______________________________
Before BOYD, C.J., and QUINN and REAVIS, JJ.
John Joseph Hindera (appellant) appeals the February 1, 2001 judgment of the
237th District Court of Lubbock County in favor of appellee. Subsequent to the filing of the
notice of appeal, this court received notice from appellant’s counsel that he had filed a
voluntary petition as debtor under Chapter 7 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. Said
notice included a file-marked copy of said petition. Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 362, any
further action in this appeal is automatically stayed.
Under these circumstances, and for administrative purposes, this appeal is removed
from the docket of this Court and abated. The appeal will be reinstated upon proper
motion showing that the stay has been lifted or that the Court may otherwise proceed with
the disposition of the cause.
Accordingly, the appeal is abated.
