            IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF MONTANA                               Case Number: DA 23-0426

                                           DA 23-0426

 JESUS VILLANUEVA,

              Petitioner and Appellant,

       v.                                                             ORDER

 STATE OF MONTANA,

              Respondent and Appellee.

       Appellant has filed an "early" motion for a 90-day extension of time to file his reply
brief. He explains that due to his incarceration the 14-day time limit to file his reply brief
will infringe on his due process rights.
       The Court notes that Appellee's brief has not yet been filed. Thus, pursuant to
M. R. App. P. 12(3), Appellant's motion is premature.
       IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the motion for extension is DENIED. Appellant
shall have 90 days from the date Appellee's brief is filed to file his reply brief.
       No further extensions will be granted.
       al -Cra           ?-cfin 1 1 .2—n-1,        For the Court,

                                                                 Chief Justice
