Re: Estate of Alan Morgan Humphrey, Deceased; Cause No. 05-15-00589-CV— Fifth Court of Appeals , Dear Fifth Court of Appeals:

On May 8, 2015, Denna Shaw (“Ms. Shaw” or “Appellant”), pro se, filed a Notice of Appeal in the above—referenced matter seeking to appeal a Final Judgment signed and entered by the Dallas County Probate Court, Number Three (the “Probate Court”), in Cause No. PR-13- 02943-3 related to an alleged breach of contract. Apparently, as part of her docketing statement, Ms. Shaw included George Alexander Carlson (“Mr. Carlson”) as a party to her appeal. However, while a party of record, Mr. Carlson was n_0t a party to the underlying breach of contract action in the Probate Court. In fact, Mr. Carlson attempted to intervene in the breach of contract action by filing a Plea in Intervention, Original Answer and Response to Breach of Contract Claim (the “Plea in Intervention”), but the Probate Court granted a Motion to Strike Intervention filed by Roger Humphrey (“Mr. Humphrey” or “Appellee”) and prohibited Mr. Carlson from intervening (since he was not a party to the underlying and disputed contract). As a result, Mr. Carlson was not included in nor was he a party to the bench trial on the breach of contract action in the Probate Court, which is the subject of this appeal. A true and correct copy of the Final Judgment listing the Parties thereto is attached hereto as Exhibit “A ”.

Despite not being a party to the underlying breach of contract action, Mr. Carlson and his prior counsel, R. Kevin Spencer, Zachary E. Johnson and Brendan P. Harvell, and their law firm, SPENCER LAW, P.C. (collectively, the “Spencer Group”), were included in the pro se appellate filings by Appellant. While the Spencer Group has never entered an appearance in this appeal, this letter is serve as notice to the Fifth Court of Appeals that the Spencer Group no longer represents Mr. Carlson in the Probate Court and that the Probate Court has previously signed an Order Granting Amended Motion to Withdraw as Counsel. A true and correct copy of the Order GrantingAmended Motion to Withdraw as Counsel is attached hereto as Exhibit “B”. As a result, the Spencer Group respectfully requests that the Fifth Court of Appeals remove them from appellate docket and all future correspondences and filings.
