Appellant,
v.
BARROW-SHAVER RESOURCES COMPANY,
Appellee.
On Appeal from the 7th Judicial District Court
Smith County, Texas
Cause No. 12-2565-A
APPELLANT’S UNOPPOSED FIRST MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
TO FILE APPELLANT’S BRIEF
Appellant Carrizo Oil & Gas, Inc. (“Carrizo”) respectfully files this
Unopposed First Motion for Extension of Time to File Appellant’s Brief. The
current deadline for filing Appellant’s Brief is September 23, 2015. Appellant
requests a 30-day extension of time for a new deadline of October 23, 2015.
The reasons for this request are as follows:
1. The reporter’s record in this case was filed on August 24, 2015, and it
contains 36 volumes of transcripts and exhibits from a two-week jury trial. Counsel
needs additional time to review this voluminous record to prepare the opening brief
for Carrizo.
2. In addition, the undersigned has several other briefing deadlines and
hearings that impact her ability to prepare the brief in this case, including an
accelerated, class-action appeal in Texas Law Shield LLP, et al. v. Crowley, No.
14-15-00705-CV, in the Fourteenth Court of Appeals at Houston, Texas, where the
appellants’ opening brief will be due September 22, 2015.
3. Counsel also will be attending and presenting argument at a discovery
hearing and a status conference in a multi-district litigation, styled In re New
England Compounding Pharmacy, Inc. Products Liability Litigation, MDL No.
13-2419, in the United States District Court District of Massachusetts. Both hearings
will be in Boston on September 9, 2015.
This extension is not sought for the purposes of delay. No prior extension has
been granted for this deadline.
As set forth in the Certificate of Conference below, this motion for extension
of time is Unopposed.
For these reasons, Appellant requests that the Unopposed First Motion for
Extension of Time be extended 30 days to October 23, 2015.
