On Appeal from the Business Court of the State of Texas, Eleventh Division, Cause No. 25-BC11B-0005, The Honorable Grant Dorfman
UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE BRIEF OF APPELLANT
TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:
Appellant NGL Water Solutions Permian, LLC (“NGL”) files this Motion for
Extension of Time to File its opening brief pursuant to Texas Rules of Appellate
Procedure 10.5(b) and 55.7:
1. Appellant’s opening brief is currently due on Friday, September 19,
2025. Appellant seeks a thirty-day extension from Friday, September 19, 2025 up to
and including Monday, October 20, 2025.
1 2. This is Appellant’s second request to extend the time to file its brief.
3. Appellees Lime Rock Resources V-A, L.P., d/b/a Lime Rock
Resources, L.P., and LRR Pecos Valley, LLC, are unopposed to this motion.
4. Appellant needs additional time to file its opening brief because counsel
for Appellant, Denise Scofield and Brandon Duke, have been engaged in other
litigation with imminent deadlines that that have required or will require significant
attention from Appellant’s counsel. Those matters include significant drafting or
other responsibilities relating to:
• Discovery responses due on October 3 and October 15 in LRR Pecos Valley, LLC v. NGL Water Solutions Permian, LLC, No. 25-151- DCCV-00017 (Tex. 143rd Dist.);
• Depositions in Tiede v. Collier, No. 1:23-cv-01004-RP (W.D. Tex.);
• Depositions beginning on October 2, 2025 in Certain Underwriters, et al., v. Cameron International Corporation, No. CJ-22-3088 (Okla. Dist.);
• Discovery and document productions ongoing in Certain Underwriters, et al., v. Cameron International Corporation, No. CJ-22-3088 (Okla. Dist.)
• Discovery responses due on October 20 in Certain Underwriters, et al., v. Cameron International Corporation, No. CJ-22-3088 (Okla. Dist.);
• Briefing for and hearing on motion to dismiss on October 8, 2025 in Andres Saldaña-Gonzalez v. Kia Corp., No. 2024-41891 (Tex. 164th Dist.); and
• Discovery and document productions ongoing in Black Mountain SWD, LP v. NGL Water Solutions Permian, LLC, No. 342-361826-25 (Tex. 342nd Dist.).
2 Considering the press of these other matters, counsel for Appellant needs a
thirty-day extension to complete the opening brief.
6. This extension is sought in the interest of justice, not for delay, and no
party will be prejudiced if the request for an extension is granted.
7. For these reasons, NGL respectfully requests that this Court grant a
thirty-day extension to file its response brief to Monday, October 20, 2025.
September 19, 2025 Respectfully submitted,
