       Re:     Appellee-Defendants’ Report on Mediation Conducted on March 2, 2015
               in Case No. 01-14-01011-CV, Hope Therapy vs. St. Anthony’s Hospital et
               al., in the First Court of Appeals at Houston

Dear Mr. Prine:

       As directed in the Court’s Memorandum Order and Referral to Mediation, issued January
21, 2015, I write on behalf of Appellee-Defendants Jason LeDay, Deric Outley, and Victoria
Babineaux to report on the mediation conducted on Monday, March 2, 2015.

        Mr. LeDay and I personally attended the mediation. My other clients, Deric Outley and
Victoria Babineaux, each authorized Mr. LeDay to mediate and settle the case on their behalf of
pre-arranged conditions. Our mediator, Mr. Dion Ramos, informed us that Ms. Woldu was
present for Hope Therapy, but both sides declined an opening general session, so we never
interfaced other than through caucus with Mr. Ramos.

        The outcome of the mediation was that Mr. Ramos declared an impasse at 4:30 in a
session that began at 1:30. We thoroughly discussed the legal issues and the risk each side faced
in the appeal and potentially back in the trial court, but the values assigned to the case by each
side were such that there was no possibility of an agreed resolution.

                                                 Sincerely,

                                                 /s/ Troy Tindal on Mar 4, 2015

                                                 Troy Tindal
