Key legal question
Whether the appeal became moot because the respondent was declared bankrupt during the federal proceedings.
Extracted holding
Yes. The bankruptcy caused the enforcement proceeding to lapse, so the appeal had no object and the case had to be removed from the docket.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 206 LP, pending enforcement against the bankrupt is extinguished; the mortgaged assets fall into the bankruptcy estate and are to be realized within bankruptcy proceedings.
