DAWNA VALENTINE, Appellant v. JP MORGAN CHASE BANK, Appellee


On Appeal from County Court at Law No. 2 Galveston County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. CV-0071914

ABATEMENT ORDER

Notice was filed on November 4, 2014, that appellant is in bankruptcy. Tex. R. App. P. 8.1. According to the notice, on September 15, 2014, Dawna Valentine petitioned for voluntary bankruptcy protection in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas under case number 14-803252. A bankruptcy suspends the appeal from the date when the bankruptcy petition is filed until the appellate court reinstates the appeal in accordance with federal law. Tex. R. App. P. 8.2. Accordingly, we ORDER the appeal abated.

When a case has been suspended by a bankruptcy filing, a party may move the appellate court to reinstate the appeal if permitted by federal law or the bankruptcy court. Tex. R. App. P. 8.3. If the bankruptcy court has lifted or terminated the stay, a certified copy of the order must be attached to the motion. Id. A party filing a motion to reinstate shall specify what further action, if any, is required from this court when the appeal is reinstated. See Tex. R. App. P. 10.1(a).

For administrative purposes only, and without surrendering jurisdiction, the appeal is abated and treated as a closed case until further order of this court.
