Trial Court No. NOT-13-126
ORDER
On March 22, 2017, Appellees/Cross-Appellants Gastar Exploration, LTD. and Gastar Exploration Texas, L.P. (collectively, Gastar) notified the Court that the companies had merged and had changed their name to Gastar Exploration Inc. At oral argument, the parties were asked to inform the Court by letter brief what effect the merger and name change would have on the parties named in the judgment and style of the case on appeal. In response, appellant/cross-appellee Chieftain Exploration Company, Inc., filed an unopposed "Motion to Substitute Parties" asking that we change the identification of the parties in the case to reflect Gastar's current status as Gastar Exploration Inc.
The unopposed motion is granted. Gastar Exploration Inc. is substituted in place of Gastar Exploration, LTD. and Gastar Exploration Texas, L.P. As of the date of this Order, the style of this case is now Chieftain Exploration Company, Inc. v. Gastar Exploration Inc., and Cubic Assets, LLC. The Clerk of this Court is ordered to make this change to the style of the case in the Court's case management system, and all parties are ordered to use the changed style on all future briefs, motions, pleadings, documents, etc., filed by the parties.
