             FROM THE 101st DISTRICT COURT OF DALLAS COUNTY;

              NO. 98-4455-E; HON. JOHN WHITTINGTON, PRESIDING
                       _______________________________

                             ORDER OF DISMISSAL
                       ________________________________

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

      Michael Victor Miller, Ralph Fields Norwood, III, and Burgers of Diamond Bar

appealed a default judgment entered in favor of Hudson’s Grill International, Inc.

Thereafter, the appeal was abated when the court received notice that each appellant had

filed for bankruptcy. Recently, counsel for appellants provided the court with evidence

illustrating that Miller and Burgers of Diamond Bar received a discharge in bankruptcy
encompassing the debt represented by the aforementioned judgment. Hudson Grill

International, Inc. did not dispute this. Their debt having been discharged, the appeal of

Miller and Burgers of Diamond Bar is moot and, therefore dismissed. Furthermore, the

cause is reinstated upon the court’s docket solely to effectuate that purpose but again

abated until the status of Norwood’s bankruptcy can be determined.

      It is so ordered.
