ORDER

_________________________________

Before LUCERO, TYMKOVICH, and PHILLIPS, Circuit Judges.

_________________________________

This matter is before the Court on the Fed. R. App. P. 5 Petition for Permission to 

Appeal filed by Tony R. Whisenant pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1453(c). Sheridan Production 

Company, LLC filed a response in opposition to the petition. Mr. Whisenant filed a 

motion seeking leave to file a reply brief, which included a proposed reply brief. Sheridan 

opposes the motion for leave to file a reply brief. 

As an initial matter, the motion for leave to file a reply brief is granted; the reply 

brief shall be filed as of the date the motion for leave was filed.

Upon careful consideration of the petition, response, the reply, the underlying 

proceedings before the district court, and the applicable law, the Petition for Permission 

to Appeal is GRANTED.
