                         _______________________________

Before BOYD, C.J., and QUINN and REAVIS, JJ.

       Leone Plummer (appellant) appeals the September 4, 2001 judgment of the 251st

District Court of Randall County in favor of appellee. Subsequent to the filing of the notice

of appeal, this court received notice from counsel for appellee that appellant has filed a

voluntary petition as debtor under Chapter 13 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. Said

notice included a file-marked copy of said petition. Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 362, any

further action in this appeal is automatically stayed.
         Under these circumstances, and for administrative purposes, this appeal is removed

from the docket of this Court and abated. The appeal will be reinstated upon proper

motion showing that the stay has been lifted and specifying the action required by this

Court.

         Accordingly, the appeal is abated.
