                                          ORDER
       In this cross-appeal, on April 5, 2021, appellees/cross-appellants Marathon Oil EF LLC

opening briefs and to adopt a consolidated briefing schedule. Appellants/cross-appellees 1776
Energy Partners, LLC and 1776 Energy Operators, LLC (collectively, “1776”) oppose the
motion. On May 3, 2021, Marathon and 1776 filed a joint notice, in which they agree and
confirm that the reporter’s record appears complete.

        Marathon’s motion is GRANTED IN PART. It is ORDERED that 1776’s opening brief
is due on July 1, 2021. It is further ORDERED that Marathon’s combined response brief and
opening brief is due thirty days after the filing of 1776’s opening brief. It is further ORDERED
that 1776’s combined reply brief and response brief is due thirty days after the filing of
Marathon’s combined response brief and opening brief. It is further ORDERED that Marathon’s
reply brief is due fifteen days after the filing of 1776’s combined reply brief and response brief.

        This order does not limit the parties from seeking extensions of time to file their briefs or
for increases to word limitations.
