IN THE ESTATE OF

MAUD AUBRIA HILL, DECEASED

On Appeal from the 402nd Judicial District Court

Wood County, Texas

Trial Court No. 2004-071

Before Morriss, C.J., Ross and Carter, JJ.

Memorandum Opinion by Justice Ross

MEMORANDUM OPINION

This Court has been notified that a party in an appeal pending before this Court, Kirk Lewis, individually, has filed a petition for bankruptcy. We have previously stayed further action in the case and suspended the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 8.2.

Accordingly, for administrative purposes, this case is abated and will be treated as closed. Any party may reinstate by promptly filing a motion with an attached certified copy of the order showing that the automatic bankruptcy stay has been lifted or terminated and specifying what further action, if any, is required from this Court. In the event of reinstatement, any period that began to run and had not expired at the time of suspension will begin anew when the proceeding is reinstated. Any document filed while the proceeding is suspended will be deemed filed on the same day, but after, the Court reinstates the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 8.2, 8.3.
