S In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-18-00956-CV
JEREMIAH VANCE, Appellant
V.
WEST & ASSOCIATES, LLP, Appellee
On Appeal from the 134th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DC-17-11530
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Burns, Justice Molberg, and Justice Goldstein
Opinion by Chief Justice Burns
We reinstate this appeal. In November 2018, we abated this case due to the
suggestion of bankruptcy filed by Vance. 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.).
