COUNSEL FOR APPELLANT BARRETT WAKEFIELD APPELLANT’S TO COURT’S NOTICE OF INTENT TO DISMISS

The Court noticed its intent to dismiss this instant appeal for lack of

jurisdiction, citing the pending Waggoners’ counterclaims and other potential

impediments to the finality of the trial court’s summary judgment order against

Thinair Wireless, Inc., Howard J. Wakefield, III, Barrett Wakefield, and Randall

Wayne Habel.

On July 28, 2014, Appellant Barrett Wakefield petitioned this Court for

additional time to establish finality of the trial court’s order. In the trial court,

Barrett Wakefield moved for severance of the breach of contract claims against

him and Howard Wakefield in order to separate the breach of contract claims

supporting the summary judgment against the Wakefields from the other claims

and bankrupt co-defendants. The trial court granted Barrett Wakefield’s Motion to

Sever on December 5, 2014, creating a separate case under Cause No. 1007580-

102 the breach of contract claims asserted against Barrett Wakefield and Howard

Wakefield, III. See Exh. A.

On the basis of the above, the trial court’s summary judgment order now

constituting a final judgment in severed Cause No. 1007580-102, Appellant Barrett

Wakefield respectfully regrets that the Court retain this appeal, re-styled as needed

to reflect the underlying trial court case as severed from the original action.

2 Dated: January 5, 2015 Respectfully submitted,
