Item 1. Security and Issuer
     The class of equity to which this Schedule 13D relates is units representing limited partner interests (“Units”) in Legacy Reserves LP (the “Issuer”).
     The Issuer is a Delaware limited partnership with its principal executive offices located at 303 W. Wall, Suite 1400, Midland, Texas 79701.
Item 2. Identity and Background
     (a) and (b) This Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D originally filed on April 8, 2009 is being filed jointly on behalf of the following persons (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”): (i) Cary D. Brown (“Mr. C. Brown”), (ii) Kyle A. McGraw (“Mr. K. McGraw”), (iii) Steven H. Pruett (“Mr. Pruett”), (iv) Paul T. Horne (“Mr. Horne”), and (v) William M. Morris (“Mr. Morris”). A Joint Filing Agreement among the Reporting Persons is attached hereto as Exhibit 7.01.
     The business address of each of the Reporting Persons is 303 W. Wall, Suite 1400, Midland, Texas 79701.
     (c) The present principal occupation of Mr. C. Brown is Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the general partner of the Issuer (the “General Partner”). The present principal occupation of Mr. K. McGraw is Executive Vice President of Business Development and Land of the General Partner. The present principal occupation of Mr. Pruett is President, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of the General Partner. The present principal occupation of Mr. Horne is Executive Vice President of Operations of the General Partner. The present principal occupation of Mr. Morris is Vice President, Chief Accounting Officer and Controller of the General Partner.
     (d) and (e) During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons has been (i) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) was a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
     (f) All of the Reporting Persons are United States citizens.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
     The Units that each of the Reporting Persons own were acquired through the contribution of assets of their affiliates in the transactions in which the Issuer was formed, through distributions from their affiliates for no additional consideration, through distributions by certain trusts, open market purchases using personal or other funds or through each of such Reporting Person’s service as an officer or director of the General Partner.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
     On April 3, 2009, the Board of Directors of the Issuer’s General Partner (the “Board of Directors”) received a proposal (the “Proposal”) from Apollo Management VII, LP, a private equity fund (“Apollo Management”), to acquire all of the outstanding Units of the Issuer at a cash purchase price of $14.00 per unit, subject to adjustment for any distributions paid to the limited partners of the Issuer. In the letter submitting the Proposal, Apollo Management stated that the Reporting Persons informed Apollo Management that if the Board of Directors approves the transaction, the Reporting Persons expect to support the approved transaction and invest with Apollo Management in the acquisition of the Issuer.
     On June 24, 2009 a press release was issued by the Issuer stating that the Conflicts Committee of the general partner of the Issuer, after careful review of the Proposal from Apollo Management received on April 3, 2009 and subsequent negotiations relating to the Proposal, determined that it is in the best interest of the unitholders of the Issuer to terminate discussions with Apollo Management. A copy of the press release is being filed herewith as Exhibit 7.02.
     As a result of the Conflicts Committee’s decision to terminate its discussions with Apollo Management, the Reporting Persons are no longer engaged in discussions with Apollo Management regarding their relationship with Apollo Management with respect to a potential co-investment with Apollo Management in the acquisition of the Issuer.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
     (a) and (b) As a result of the termination of any discussions of the Reporting Persons with Apollo Management with respect to a co-investment with Apollo Management in the acquisition of the Issuer, the Reporting Persons are no longer deemed to constitute a “group” within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b) under the Exchange Act.
