ORDER
LUZ ELENA D. CHAPA, JUSTICE
On January 16, 2024, we ordered this appeal abated because appellee/cross-appellant El Dorado Gas & Oil, Inc. filed a notice of bankruptcy. On March 7, 2024, appellee/cross-appellant SilverBow Resources Operating, LLC jointly filed a "Motion to Reinstate Appeal and Set Briefing Schedule" with appellant/cross-appellant ETC Pipeline, Ltd. and appellee/cross-appellant El Dorado Gas & Oil, Inc. On March 15, 2024, appellee/cross-appellant Dawn Ragan, the duly appointed chapter 11 trustee for El Dorado Gas & Oil, Inc., filed a response in opposition to the joint motion to reinstate. After consideration, we deny the joint motion to reinstate. In accordance with our January 16, 2024 order, we continue to treat this case as closed for administrative purposes until it is reinstated in accordance with Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 8.3(a). All motions and other documents pending or filed are abated subject to being re-urged in the event the case is reinstated.
