         MOTION FOR 30-DAY EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE
                       BRIEF AS APPELLANTS
____________________________________________________________________

TO THE HONORABLE FIRST COURT OF APPEALS:

      Appellants, RSM Production and Jack Grynberg, respectfully request a 30-

day extension of the deadline to file their brief as appellants under Texas Rules of

Appellate Procedure 10.5(b) and 38.6(d), and would respectfully show this Court

as follows:
1.    This is Appellants’ first motion for extension of time to file their brief.

2.    The filing deadline for Appellants’ brief is presently December 10, 2015.

3.    Appellants request a 30-day extension of the deadline to file their opening
      brief, which would make the brief due January 11, 2016.

4.    Appellants’ counsel needs additional time to file the brief because of the
      intervening Thanksgiving holiday, as well as pending deadlines in other
      litigation.

     WHEREFORE, Appellants RSM Production and Jack Grynberg respectfully

request that the Court grant this motion and extend the deadline for their opening

brief to Monday, January 11, 2016.

                                        Respectfully submitted,
