       v.
                                                                     ORDER
 MONTANA EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
 COURT, CASCADE COUNTY, THE
 HONORABLE DAVID J. GRUBICH,
 PRESIDING,

              Respondent.

       Petitioner Montana Lee Covington, via counsel, seeks a writ of supervisory control to
reverse the ruling denying the State's motion to dismiss its petition for revocation in the
Eighth Judicial District Court, Cascade County, in Cause No. ADC-22-003, in which
Covington is the defendant. He further requests that the District Court matter be stayed
pending the resolution of this petition.
       Having reviewed the Petition and the challenged Order, we deem it appropriate to
obtain a summary response. Therefore, in accordance with M. R. App. P. 14(7),
       IT IS ORDERED that the Eighth Judicial District Court and the State of Montana, or
both, are each granted until September 6, 2023, to prepare, file, and serve a response(s) to the
petition for writ of supervisory control.
       IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the proceedings in the underlying case are STAYED
pending this Court's decision on the Petition.
      The Clerk is directed to provide immediate notice of this Order to counsel for
Petitioner, all counsel of record in the Eighth Judicial District Court, Cascade County, Cause
No. ADC-22-003, and the Honorable David J. Grubich, presiding.
      DATED this 23rd day of August, 2023.          .
