This appeal presents the same procedural issue that we address today in Daimler Chrysler 
Corporation v. Yaeger, ___ N.E.2d ___ (Ind. 2005).  As in Yaeger, the defendants sought to ap-
peal from the trial court's denial of its motion to dismiss and compel arbitration, but failed to 
seek trial court certification authorizing it to appeal from the interlocutory order as required by 
Indiana Appellate Rule 14(B).   The plaintiffs, Tina Wagner and Darrin Wagner, filed a motion 
to dismiss the appeal, asserting failure to comply with Rule 14(B), but the Court of Appeals, in a 
memorandum decision, denied the motion and considered the appeal, expressly following the 
reasoning of the majority in the Court of Appeals opinion in Yaeger.  In accord with our opinion 
issued today in Yaeger, we now grant transfer and dismiss this appeal.  
 
 
This appeal is dismissed, and the cause is remanded to the trial court.   
  
Shepard, C.J., and Sullivan, Boehm, and Rucker, JJ., concur.
