Gerald McWilliams v. Joshua Watson
Trial court: 215th District Court of Harris County number: 2019-44370
ORDER REINSTATING APPEAL
Sarah B. Landau, Judge.
On September 14, 2021, this Court issued an order staying and abating this appeal because appellee petitioned for bankruptcy. See TEX. R. APP. P. 8.2. On May 17, 2022, appellant filed a motion requesting that our Court lift the stay and abatement because an order of discharge was issued in appellee's bankruptcy case on November 23, 2021. On May 18, 2022, appellee filed a motion requesting that our Court (1) reinstate the appeal and (2) dismiss the appeal on the basis that the underlying claims have been discharged in the bankruptcy.
The parties' requests to reinstate the appeal are granted. Accordingly, we lift the stay and abatement ordered by this Court and reinstate the appeal on the Court's active docket.
Appellee's request to dismiss the appeal remains pending. We order appellant to respond to appellee's request for dismissal within 30 days of this order.
It is so ORDERED.
