ORDER
Before the Court is Separate Defendant EnerQuest Oil and Gas, LLC’s Motion to
Dismiss Parties. (ECF No. 7). EnerQuest moves the Court to Dismiss Separate Defendants
Daubert Energy Company, LLC, Colt Energy, Inc., Huddleston Exploration, LLC, and
PetroQuest Exploration. In Plaintiffs’ Complaint (ECF No. 1), they allege that Defendants own
an interest in certain leases that have been pooled together in the Chalybeat Springs Field Wide
Smackover Lime Unit. Plaintiff seeks to cancel any of Defendants’ leases that are on formations
not presently producing. In its motion, EnerQuest points out that the four entities listed above do

not actually own an interest in any of the leases described in Plaintiffs’ Complaint. Therefore,
EnerQuest seeks to have these parties dismissed from the lawsuit. The Court has been informed
that Plaintiff does not oppose the motion.
Upon consideration, the Court is satisfied that good cause for the motion has been shown.
Accordingly, the Court finds that Separate Defendant EnerQuest’s motion (ECF No. 7) should be
and hereby is GRANTED. Separate Defendants Daubert Energy Company, LLC, Colt Energy,
Inc., Huddleston Exploration, LLC, and PetroQuest Exploration are DISMISSED.
IT IS SO ORDERED, this 28th day of November, 2012.
