APPELLEES’ UNOPPOSED SECOND MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE APPELLEES’ BRIEF
TO THE HONORABLE EIGHTH COURT OF APPEALS:
COME NOW, Appellees, Star Exploration, LLC and Howard W. Gaddis, Jr., to
file this, their Unopposed Second Motion for Extension of Time to File Appellees’
Brief. In support thereof, Appellees would respectfully show this Honorable Court as
follows:
Page 2 of 7 1. Appellants, Flamingo Permian Oil & Gas, LLC; Flamingo Operating,
LLC; and Omar Minhaj (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Flamingo”) filed
their first opposed motion for extension of time to file the brief of appellants on March
21, 2018.
2. The Appellants’ interlocutory appeal in this case stems from the trial
court’s injunctive Order of February 8, 2018. On March 29, 2018, Appellants were
granted and extension of time to file their brief by the Court of Appeals for the
Eighth District of Texas, El Paso, Texas. The granting of the extension created a
due date of April 12, 2018 for the Appellants brief.
3. Appellants filed their brief on April 12, 2018 at 10:23 p.m.
4. Appellee’s filed their first Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time to
File Brief on May 1, 2018. Said motion was granted by the Court, and upon
confirmation from the clerk of this Court, Appellee’s Brief is due to be filed on May
22, 2018.
5. Appellees hereby request a second extension of time to file their brief.
The extension of time is requested and is made necessary due to unexpected
obligations on the part of Appellees’ counsel which could not have been avoided or
anticipated. Appellees’ counsel has been required to travel away from work and to
expend significant time and effort dealing with legal and other matters related to the
terminal illness of a close family member. As a result of these unexpected events,
counsel needs additional time to properly and completely respond to all issues and Page 3 of 7 documentary matters presented in Appellant’s brief.
6. The undersigned counsel contacted counsel for Appellants by
telephone and email on May 21, 2018 to determine if this Motion for Second
Extension would be opposed. Counsel for Appellant has confirmed that this motion
for extension of time is unopposed.
7. This is the second motion for an extension of time regarding Appellees’
brief that has been filed.
8. The extension of time regarding the Appellees’ brief is not sought for
the purpose of delay or avoidance.
Page 4 of 7 WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellees, Star Exploration, LLC and
Howard W. Gaddis, Jr., respectfully pray that the Court grant Appellees’ Unopposed
Second Motion for Extension of Time to file Appellees’ Brief, granting an additional

for such further relief as this Court deems appropriate according to law and the Rules
