S In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-98-00071-CV

BARBARA KAY (CHERRY) JAQUESS, Appellant

V. CLYDE BRUCE CHERRY, Appellee

On Appeal from the 256th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 97-2990-Z

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Justices Myers, Partida-Kipness, and Garcia Opinion by Justice Myers

We reinstate this appeal. This case was abated in February 1998 due to 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 dismissed on July 31, 1998, 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).
