Description
Appellant, Richard L. Fuqua, filed this malicious prosecution suit in state court against appellees, Thomas Graber, an attorney, and Grabers law firm, Hopkins and Sutter. Fuqua contends that appellees, acting on behalf of a client, Sunbelt Savings, wrongfully filed an adversary proceeding in Fuquas then-pending bankruptcy case. Appellees filed a plea to the jurisdiction, contending that because Fuquas claim is premised on an adversary proceeding in a bankruptcy case, it is preempted by federal bankruptcy law. The trial court granted appellees plea to the jurisdiction and dismissed Fuquas claim. In a single issue, Fuqua contends the trial court erred in granting the plea to the jurisdiction. We agree, and reverse and remand to the trial court for proceedings consistent with this opinion.
