                    NOTICE OF INTERLOCUTORY APPEAL

       COMES NOW RICKY D. PARKER and JAMES MYERS, defendants in Cause No. 14-

DCV-218252; Schlumberger Technology Corp. v. Ricky D. Parker and James Myers; in the

268th Judicial District Court of Fort Bend County, Texas, desiring to appeal from the trial

court’s Order denying Defendants’ Motion to Compel Arbitration on December 10, 2014; the

trial court’s Order denying Defendants’ Motion for Reconsideration of Its Motion to Compel

Arbitration on December 10, 2014; and trial court’s order granting Temporary Injunction dated

December 18, 2014. The appeal is taken under sections 51.014(a)(4); 61.016; and 171.098 of the

Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code and is therefore an accelerated appeal under Rule

28.1(a) of the Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure. This case is not a parental termination or

child protection case, as defined in Rule 28.4 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. See

Tex. R. App. P. 25.1(d)(7).

       This appeal is to the First or Fourteenth Court of Appeals in Houston, Texas.
