                                        NOTICE OF APPEAL

       This Notice of Appeal is filed by ABBIE GAIL BYRD, Plaintiff/Petitioner, a party to this
proceeding who seeks to alter the trial court’s judgment or other appealable order.

          1.       The trial court, cause number, and style of this case are as shown in the caption
                   above.

          2.       ABBIE GAIL BYRD appeals to the Fifth District Court of Appeals.

          3.       The judgment or order appealed from was signed on Wednesday, November 12,
                   2014 in Cause No. DC-14-07493.

          4.       This case was severed from Cause No. DC-14-07439 on February 21, 2015.

          5.       ABBIE GAIL BYRD desires to appeal from the summary judgment ruling in
                   favor of JNH FOOD, LLC. More specifically, ABBIE GAIL BYRD desires to
                   appeal the trial court’s ruling regarding the controlling question of law as to
                   which there is a substantial ground for difference of opinion in that whether the
                   injury to Plaintiff occurred within the scope and/or course of her employment.
                   There is a substantial ground for difference of opinion based on the facts of this
                   case and the determination of this question of law will determine whether Plaintiff
                   has a cause of action against Defendant, JNH FOOD, LLC, or if Plaintiff is barred
                   by Worker’s Compensation from bringing this suit.

                                                 Respectfully submitted,
