JOINT UNOPPOSED SECOND MOTION TO
EXTEND TIME TO FILE APPELLANTS’ BRIEFS
TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:
Pursuant to Tex. 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.
Respectfully submitted,
