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, Scott W. Tinker (collectively the Brigham Defendants), and Statoil ASA and Fargo Acquisition, Inc. (collectively Statoil), Appellants in the above-entitled and numbered cause, request an extension of the UNOPPOSED SECOND MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE APPELLANTS’ BRIEFS—PAGE 1 time within which to file their Appellants’ Briefs. In support of this request, The Brigham Defendants and Statoil respectfully represent to the Court as follows: 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 on June 4, 2015, June 5, 2015, June 12, 2015, and August 14, 2015, but there are remaining requested clerk’s record documents that have not yet been filed. 3. This is an interlocutory appeal from a class-certification order. The Appellants’ briefs are currently due on August 28, 2015. The Brigham Defendants and Statoil need additional time and seek a 30-day extension, until September 28, 2015. 4. This is the second extension that these Appellants have sought in this matter. 5. The Brigham Defendants and Statoil need additional time to file their briefs because the record was incomplete and record errors are in the process of being corrected. As stated above, a supplemental clerk’s record was filed on August 14, 2015, but additional items remain to be filed at this Court. The clerk’s record is also quite voluminous. Additionally, one of the undersigned counsel, Debora Alsup, will be traveling out-of-state the week that the briefs are due. All counsel will need sufficient time to review the record, to draft their briefs, to UNOPPOSED SECOND MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE APPELLANTS’ BRIEFS—PAGE 2 confer with co-counsel, and to allow their clients to review it. Thus an extension of 30 days is warranted. 7. Appellees do not oppose the extension requested. Therefore, these Appellants respectfully request that this motion be granted, and that the time within which they must file their Appellants’ Briefs be extended to September 28, 2015.
