AT AUSTIN

 

NO. 3-87-099-CV

STEVEN K. TOPLETZ,

	APPELLANT

vs.

URSA EQUITY CORPORATION,

	APPELLEE

 

FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 201ST JUDICIAL DISTRICT

NO. 408,932, HONORABLE JOE B. DIBRELL, JR., JUDGE PRESIDING
 

PER CURIAM
	The district court rendered judgment on March 27, 1987, for appellee Ursa Equity
Corporation and against appellant Steven K. Topletz.  Topletz perfected his appeal on April 24,
1987, and filed for bankruptcy on July 7, 1987.  In re Topletz, No. 87-11341 (Bankr. W.D.
Tex.).  Topletz was discharged from bankruptcy on December 5, 1988. (1)
	In a letter dated June 1, 1992, Topletz contends that any claims belonging to Ursa
have been terminated by the discharge in bankruptcy.  Ursa has not responded.  Accordingly, the
Court dismisses the appeal on the Court's own motion.

	The Court notes that its orders of August 12, 1987 (motion nos. CV-21,507 and
CV-21,508) and September 9, 1987 (motion no. CV-21,570) are void as violative of the automatic
stay in bankruptcy.  See 11 U.S.C. § 362 (1988).

1.       Accordingly, this Court's May 6, 1992, order abating the appeal is vacated and the appeal
is reinstated.
