AND RANDALL SORRELS, Appellees ________________________________ This cause, an appeal from the judgment signed on June 20, 2014, was heard on the transcript of the record.

Further, we find no error in the remainder of the judgment and order it AFFIRMED. For good cause, we order appellant Richard Alan Haase and appellee Randall Sorrels each to pay one-half of all costs incurred in this appeal.
