GEORGE EDWARD SEWELL AND ELIZABETH UDELL, Appellants v. PITTSBURGH CORNING CORPORATION, Appellee
On Appeal from the 44th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 96-04255-B
Before Justices Myers, Partida-Kipness, and GarciaMEMORANDUM OPINION
ROBBIE PARTIDA-KIPNESS, JUSTICE
We reinstate this appeal. In 2000, we abated this case due to Pittsburgh Corning Corporation's bankruptcy. See Tex. R. App. P. 8.2. The Court conducted an independent review of the federal Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) system which shows the bankruptcy case associated with this appeal was terminated on April 18, 2019, effectively dissolving the automatic stay.
We notified the parties by letter, requesting they inform the Court of the status of the bankruptcy and of this appeal. We cautioned that the failure to respond would result in the appeal being dismissed for want of prosecution. See id. 42.3(b), (c). To date, neither 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); Brewer v. Admiral Ins. Co., 2002 WL 31312990, at *1 (Tex. App.-Dallas Oct. 16, 2002, no writ) (per curiam) (not designated for publication).
JUDGMENT
In accordance with this Court's opinion of this date, the appeal is DISMISSED.
