 RE:        Court of Appeals Number:      04-14-00905-CV
            Style:                        Escondido Resources II. LLC v. Justaphor Ranch. L.C.

  Dear Counsel:


            In accordance with chapter 154 of the TEXAS Civil PRACTICE AND REMEDIES Code, we
 enclose a copy of the Court's Order of Referral of this appeal to our Alternative Dispute
  Resolution (ADR) program. The date and time of your Mediated Settlement Conference will be
 set by you.


            The responsibilities of the mediator are set forth in Section 154.053 of the Texas Civil
 Practice and Remedies Code.             The Court has established a policy requiring the justice
 responsible for ordering the ADR procedure to temporarily withdraw from (he appeal at this
 juncture.     This is done to insure the Court's commitment to the parties, in the event there is no
  settlement, that the Court will be unaware of the reason. Accordingly, all further communications
  with the Court from the mediator or attorneys of record shall be directed to the Clerk of the
  Court.
            On behalf of the entire Court. 1 thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

                                                           Very truly yours.
