Order filed November 26, 2013. In The Fourteenth Court of Appeals ____________ NO. 14-13-00784-CV ____________ ERVIN WALKER, ET AL., Appellants V. DIRECTORY DISTRIBUTING ASSOCIATES, INC., RICHARD PRICE, STEVE WASHINGTON, LAURA WASHINGTON, ROLAND E. SCHMIDT, SANDY SANDERS, AND AT&T CORPORATION, Appellees On Appeal from the 269th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 2011-50578 ORDER This is an interlocutory appeal from an order dismissing over 10,000 “Opt-In Plaintiffs,” also referred to as “Non-Texas Collective Action Plaintiffs.” Appellants filed a brief on November 20, 2013, in which they assert that this appeal has not been styled properly, yet appellants have not designated the proper style in their filings. Appellants assert that these dismissed plaintiffs were identified in their 1 notice of appeal. The notice of accelerated appeal in the Clerk’s Record filed September 24, 2013, states that the appealing parties are “listed in Exhibit A,” yet no exhibit A follows the notice of appeal. Appellants filed an Amended Notice of Interlocutory Appeal on October 16, 2013, which also fails to include Exhibit A identifying the appealing parties. 1 Accordingly, we issue the following order. We ORDER appellants to file an amended notice of appeal in this court on or before December 6, 2013. The amended notice of appeal shall specify the proper style of this appeal and expressly identify the appealing parties. PER CURIAM 1 The Clerk’s Record contains the trial court’s dismissal order, which includes an Exhibit A of over 300 pages. Appellants also included Exhibit A in their motion for extension of time to file their brief. Nonetheless, Appellant’s Amended Notice of Appeal does not identify the appealing parties and is defective. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.1(d), (g). 2
