                             MEMORANDUM OPINION

PER CURIAM

                Appellant John J. Gorman IV has notified this Court that he has filed for bankruptcy.1

The filing of a bankruptcy petition automatically stays all proceedings in this Court.2 Accordingly,

we abate this appeal.3 It is the responsibility of the parties to notify this Court as soon as possible

if an event occurs that would allow for reinstatement, and failure to promptly notify this Court of

such an event may result in the dismissal of this appeal for want of prosecution.4
