       On October 3, 2022, appellant Chandra Corporation d/b/a Diamond Marquise filed a
suggestion of bankruptcy. On October 11, 2022, this Court issued an order staying the appeal in
accordance with Rules 8.2 and 8.3. See TEX. R. APP. P. 8.2, 8.3.
        On December 9, 2022, appellant filed a motion to lift the stay and reinstate the appeal on
the active docket. Appellant attached a copy of an order signed by the judge of the United States
Bankruptcy Court, District of New Jersey, in bankruptcy case number 22-17836, vacating the
automatic stay for the purpose of allowing this appeal to go forward. Appellant states that it
attempted to confer with appellee but had received no response concerning whether appellee
opposed this motion. We held the motion for ten days and no opposition was filed.
       Accordingly, we grant the motion and lift the stay. The appeal is reinstated on the active
docket. The court reporter’s request for an extension of time to file the reporter’s record, filed on
October 3, 2022, is granted and the reporter’s record shall be filed within 20 days of the date of
this order.
       It is so ORDERED.
