Defendant.
ORDER STAYING CASE PURSUANT TO BANKRUPTCY FILING
THIS MATTER comes before the Court on Defendant CHS TX, Inc.’s Suggestion of
Bankruptcy filed May 11, 2026. See (Doc. 87 at 2). CHS TX, Inc. indicates that it filed a voluntary
petition in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida, pursuant to
Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, and that Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code provides that
the commencement of the Chapter 11 case operates as a stay of the continuation of a judicial action

automatic stay of these proceedings is now in effect. See, e.g., In re Escobedo, Bankruptcy No. 7–
14–11269 TL, Adversary No. 14–10692014 WL 3051208, at *2 (Bankr. D.N.M. July 3, 2014)
(“When a bankruptcy petition is filed, § 362(a) automatically stays any proceeding or enforcement
action against the debtor.”). The parties shall notify the Court if and when the stay is lifted.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 21st day of May, 2026.
