ORDER entered by Gustavo A. Gelp , Jr., Appellate Judge: Plaintiff-Appellant TotalEnergies Marketing Puerto Rico Corp. has appealed the district court's decision granting the motion for summary judgment filed by defendants-appellees the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and certain Commonwealth officials in their official capacity. In light of the above, we direct the parties to show cause within 40 days of this order whether any filings or orders in the district court case at issue in this appeal were subject to the automatic stay provisions. See HealthproMed Found., Inc. v. Dep't of Health & Human Servs. , 982 F.3d 15, 19 (1st Cir. 2020) (holding that this court lacks jurisdiction over orders that are void because they were issued in violation of the automatic stay). The parties are further directed to show cause whether any aspect of this appeal can proceed in light of the Commonwealth's Title III Plan's discharge ( 92.2) and discharge injunction ( 92.3) provisions, or any other Plan provisions, as well as the express inclusion of "employees" and "officials" in Confirmation Order 56(b). See 11 U.S.C. 524(a)(1) and (2) (stating that discharge "voids any judgment at any time obtained" and "operates as an injunction against the commencement or continuation of an action, the employment of process, or an act to collect, recover or offset any such debt . . . of the debtor"). The Financial Oversight and Management Board is invited to submit its views on this matter at the time the parties file their responses. The parties are also reminded of the court's requirements for certified or stipulated English translations when documents or cited opinions are not in the English language. 1st Cir. R. 30.0(e).
