ORDER OF ABATEMENT

_______________________________



Before QUINN, C.J., and CAMPBELL and HANCOCK, JJ.

Jorge Valenciana (appellant) appeals the November 15, 2004 judgment of the 242nd District Court of Hale County.  This court has received notice from appellant’s counsel that appellant has filed a voluntary petition as debtor under Chapter 7 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 or that the court may otherwise proceed with the disposition of the cause.

Accordingly, the appeal is abated.
