                               Appellee.

                    On Appeal from the 7th Judicial District Court
                                Smith County, Texas
                               Cause No. 12-2565-A

     APPELLANT’S UNOPPOSED SECOND MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
                     TO FILE APPELLANT’S BRIEF

      Appellant Carrizo Oil & Gas, Inc. (“Carrizo”) respectfully files this

Unopposed Second Motion for Extension of Time to File Appellant’s Brief. The

current deadline for filing Appellant’s Brief is October 23, 2015. Appellant requests

a 30-day extension of time for a new deadline of November 23, 2015.

      The reasons for this request are as follows:

      The reporter’s record in this case was filed on August 24, 2015, and it contains

36 volumes of transcripts and exhibits from a two-week jury trial. In reviewing the

Reporter’s Record, the undersigned noted that the questions and answers contained
in the videotaped depositions that were played to the jury at trial were not included

in the Reporter’s Record, although the parties agree that the portions of those

depositions designated by Plaintiff were in fact presented to the jury by video.

      In addition, the Clerk’s Record contains 15 volumes of papers, and there are

several items that need to be corrected and supplemented in the Clerk’s Record.

      Carrizo is working with opposing counsel to prepare a stipulation to complete

the Reporter’s Record. Carrizo will also be filing a Request to Supplement the

Clerk’s Record. Carrizo respectfully submits that it would be beneficial to the Court

and counsel to have a complete and accurate appellate record to cite in Carrizo’s

opening brief before that brief is filed.

      This extension is not sought for the purposes of delay. One prior extension

has been granted for this deadline.

      As set forth in the Certificate of Conference below, this motion for extension

of time is Unopposed.

      For these reasons, Appellant requests that the Unopposed Second Motion for

Extension of Time be extended 30 days to November 23, 2015.

                                            2
