Appellee Drilling Risk Management, Inc. filed an unopposed motion for an extension of time to submit a motion for rehearing or motion for en banc reconsideration in the case against Gemini Insurance Company and Berkley Oil and Gas Specialty Services, LLC. The appeal originates from Cause Number 12-066 in the 216th Judicial District Court of Kendall County, Texas, presided over by Judge William Palmer. 

The Court issued its opinion and judgment on July 6, 2016, with the initial deadline for filing the motion set for July 21, 2016. Appellee seeks an additional fifteen days, extending the deadline to August 5, 2016, to properly evaluate the Court’s opinion and prepare the required motion. The extension is warranted due to Appellee’s counsel, Steve Skarnulis, having obligations to attend a mediation session in another case on July 12, 2016, and his upcoming vacation from July 26-29, 2016.

This is the first extension requested by the Appellee and is not intended to cause delay but to ensure justice is served. The motion is supported by a certificate of conference confirming that Appellants do not oppose the request. The motion was filed on July 18, 2016, by the law firm Cain, Skarnulis PLLC and Langley Banack Incorporated, representing Drilling Risk Management, Inc.
