IRAJ S. JABBARY, ABC DENTISTRY PASADENA PA, ABC DENTISTRY
OLD SPANISH TRAIL PLLC, ABC DENTISTRY WEST OREM
PLLC, ET AL, Appellants
V.
SAEED ROHI DDS, EX REL STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 281st District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 2014-41707
ABATEMENT ORDER
Notice was filed on August 30, 2016, that appellants are in bankruptcy. Tex.
R. App. P. 8.1. According to the notice, on August 26, 2016, appellants petitioned
for voluntary bankruptcy protection in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of Texas under case number 16-34221. 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.
