R. App. P. 10.5, Brigham Exploration Company, Ben M. Brigham, David T. Brigham, Harold D. Carter, Stephen C. Hurley, Stephen P. Reynolds, Hobart A. Smith, and Scott W. Tinker, Appellants in the above-entitled and numbered cause, request an extension of the time within which to file their Appellants’ Brief. In support of this request, Appellants respectfully represent to the Court as follows: UNOPPOSED MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE APPELLANTS’ BRIEF—PAGE 1 1. The reporter’s record and exhibits were filed in this case on July 9, 2015. 2. The clerk’s record and supplemental clerk’s records were filed in this case on June 4, 2015, June 5, 2015, and June 12, 2015. 3. This is an interlocutory appeal from a class-certification order. The Appellants’ brief is currently due on July 29, 2015. Appellants need additional time and seek a 30-day extension, until August 28, 2015. 4. This is the first extension that these Appellants have sought in this matter. 5. These Appellants need additional time to file their brief because the undersigned counsel have heavy briefing responsibilities in other trial and appellate matters. 6. Counsel will need sufficient time to review the record, to draft their Appellants’ Brief, to confer with co-counsel, and to allow their clients time to review the brief before filing. Thus, an extension of 30 days is warranted. 7. Appellees do not oppose the extension requested. Therefore, Appellants respectfully request that this motion be granted, and that the time within which they must file their Appellants’ Brief be extended to August 28, 2015.
