M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

                        On March 11, 2010, this appeal was abated pursuant to a notice that appellee Atrium
Aluminum Products was in bankruptcy proceedings.  See 11 U.S.C. § 362(a) (West 2004); Tex. R.
App. P. 8.2.  The appellants have filed a motion to reinstate and dismiss the appeal, noting that the
parties, with the exception of Atrium Aluminum Products, have reached a settlement agreement. 
The appellants seek to voluntarily dismiss their claims against Atrium Aluminum Products in
order to dismiss this appeal in its entirety.  We grant the motion and dismiss the appeal.  See Tex.
R. App. P. 42.1; see also Darr v. Altman, 20 S.W.3d 802, 807 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.]
2000, no pet.) (collecting cases and holding that dismissal of defendant/debtor does not violate
bankruptcy stay).
