    ATTORNEYS FOR APPELLANTS
    TO THE HONORABLE COURT:
    Plaintiffs/Appellants, through undersigned counsel, pursuant to Texas Rule
    of Appellate Procedure, Rule 42.3(a), hereby move this Court for an Order that the
    Appeal brought by Bruce Berg, Stuart Cartner, Kevin Doyle, Walter Haydock,
    Edward Leh, Kevin Murphy, Philip Schantz, Dais Partners, LP, Singer Bros., LLC,
    Skeleton Lake, LLC, Wildcat Lake Partners, et al. (collectively referred to as the
    “Appellants”) be dismissed.
    The reason for this involuntary dismissal is that the United States District
    Court, Eastern District of Texas, Sherman Division (Case No. 4:11-CV-655),
    entered an Order [Dkt. 337] permanently barring all Stewardship Creditors from
    continuing and/or or asserting or prosecuting any claims or causes of action against
    Halo. That Order is now a final order. Because the Appellants in this action fall
    within the definition of “Stewardship Creditors” and because Appellants’ claims
    relate to investments made in the Stewardship Investment Plan, it appears that
    Appellants are forever barred from pursuing this appeal thereby divesting this
    Court of jurisdiction over this appeal.
    WHEREFORE, Appellants respectfully request that the Court grant this
    Motion for Involuntary Dismissal and that they have such other relief to which
    they may be entitled.
