             Plaintiffs and Appellees,

      v.
                                                                   ORDER
CREATIVE WEALTH ACQUISITIONS &
HOLDINGS,
LLC, BRAD QUINTANA, and CHAD MCCALL,

             Defendants and Appellants.
                                    _________________

       This Court reviews briefs to ensure compliance with Rules 11 and 12 of the
Montana Rules of Appellate Procedure. After reviewing Appellants’ opening brief filed
electronically on March 16, 2023, this Court has determined that the brief does not
comply with Rule 12 and must be supplemented as provided below.
       M. R. App. P. 12(1)(i) provides that an appellant’s opening brief shall contain an
appendix that includes the relevant judgment, orders, findings of fact, conclusions of
law, jury instructions, rulings, or decisions from which the appeal is taken. Appellants’
opening brief does not include an appendix with the relevant documents. Accordingly,
while the Court accepts filing of Appellants’ opening brief, the Court requests Appellants
file the relevant judgment or order from which they appeal.
Therefore,
       IT IS ORDERED that within ten (10) days of the date of this Order Appellants
shall electronically file with the Clerk of this Court the relevant judgment or order from
the District Court and that one copy of the relevant judgment or order be served on each
counsel of record; and
       IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the times for any subsequent briefing contained
in M. R. App. P. 13 shall run from the date of filing of the relevant judgment or order.
       The Clerk is directed to provide a true copy of this Order to the Appellants and to
all parties of record.

                                                                            Electronically signed by:
                                                                                 Dirk Sandefur
                                                                       Justice, Montana Supreme Court
                                                                                March 17 2023
