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 Reply Brief. In support of this request, Appellants respectfully represent to the Court as follows: UNOPPOSED MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE REPLY BRIEF—PAGE 1 1. The Appellants’ Briefs were filed on September 28, 2015, and Appellees’ Brief was filed on November 24, 2015. 2. The Appellants’ Reply Brief is currently due on December 14, 2015. Appellants need additional time and seek a 30-day extension, until January 13, 2016. 4. This is the first extension that these Appellants have sought for this brief. 5. These Appellants need additional time to file their brief because the undersigned counsel has heavy briefing responsibilities in other trial and appellate matters. 6. Counsel will need sufficient time to review Appellees’ Brief, to draft their Reply 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’ Reply Brief be extended to January 13, 2016.
