                      ON APPEAL FROM THE 157TH DISTRICT COURT,
                              HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS
                                   Trial Court No. 2016-57036

                                AGREED MOTION TO
                          EXTEND TIME TO SELECT MEDIATOR

         Bridgetex Pipeline Company, LLC, Stampede Tx Energy, LLC, and Ballengee Interests,

  LLC (collectively, the “Parties”) file this Agreed Motion to Extend Time to Select Mediator.

  The original deadline to select a mediator is March 22, 2018. The Parties ask for a one-week

  extension, to March 29, 2018, to select a mediator for this matter.

         The underlying Judgment in the case is almost $300 million dollars and great care has

  been taken to select a qualified mediator that is acceptable to all parties. However, with multiple

  parties and multiple representatives needed for each party, the logistics have been tougher than

  originally expected. The Parties have agreed on using one of two mediators and working to

  ensure the schedules of everyone involved will allow it.

          Therefore, the Parties respectfully request that their Agreed Motion to Extend Time to

  Select Mediator is granted, and that the deadline be moved from March 22, 2018 to March 29,

  2018.
