1. The filing of this Financial Disclosure Report for calendar 2019 reflects a re-entry of this senior judge into work status requiring renewed Report filing after the

period

2015-2018 when lack of sufficient case docket precluded filing requirement, and a "Final" Report having been filed for calendar year 2014.

2. Part VII, Nos. 11-16:

No new or additional royalty or mineral interests were bought, transferred or sold during this reporting period. Any changes or differences in the number or

indentites of interests or of payors/operators listed herin from prior reports does not reflect or indicate any sale, acquisition or transfer of royalty or mineral

interests but only reflects changes, if any, in lease operators/payors/lessees or an absence in reportable royalty income from a particular previously reported

operator/payor/ lessee during this reporting period.

Dear Chairman Bunning:

I am in receipt of your email and letter of October 22, 2020 concerning my timely filed Financial Disclosure Report for 2019

and the review of Dylan Johnson of your office related to that report. It appears that the reviewer is concerned over my listing

at page 4, Sec. VII, line 2 of Ameriprise Financial as a “brokerage” entity and my failure to list the equities held by that entity.

For your information and assistance with this concern I submit to your office the following, which is self evident from the

Information contained in the original filing and needs no correction if carefully read and considered:

1 Ameriprise Financial is an entity that fulfills many financial functions including brokerage, banking, accounting

and other financial services for its clients

2. The listing of Ameriprise Financial at the location in the Report noted above clearly lists that entity as the

holder of money market funds (in a minimal amount) from which there are amounts of interest earned.

In Column B, line 2 the word “Interest” clearly appears as Income from that entity (not brokerage).

3. Although Ameriprise Financial does additionally serve me in a brokerage capacity all stock holdings held in

that capacity are clearly and individually listed in the Report in the spaces following the Ameriprise listing

at page 4, Sec. VII, lines 3-9.

Based on the clarifications noted herein the 2019 Report is accurate and needs no further amendment. Should

there be a further concern of your office related to the matters contained in your October 22, 2020 letter you may attach

this responsive letter to the 2019 Report.
