PER CURIAM
Before Chief Justice Gray,
Justice Vance, and
Justice Reyna
(Chief Justice Gray dissents with a note)*
Appeal suspended; appeal administratively closed
Opinion delivered and filed October 29, 2008
[CVPM]
*(In the past we have given the parties some substantial amount of time before we act
on our own to administratively close or suspend a proceeding due to bankruptcy. For
consistency, and the practical aspect of giving the parties time to evaluate what to do in
response to the bankruptcy, I would adhere to our former procedure. Thus I do not join
this opinion at this time.)
