      Re:   No. 14-14-00741-CV; Christopher Spates and Prodigy Services v.
            Eni US Operating Company; In the Fourteenth Court of Appeals,
            Houston, Texas

Dear Mr. Prine:

As we noted in our April 2, 2015 letter, Eni US Operating Co. Inc. (“Eni”) has
no position on the issues advanced in this appeal. Therefore, Eni does not plan
on participating in the oral argument scheduled on September 17, 2015 at 2
p.m.

                                     Respectfully submitted,
