IT IS ORDERED that the statutory reference in ¶ 58 is hereby changed to reflect the
correct statute. Specifically, ¶ 58 of this Court's April 20, 2000, Opinion should read as
follows:

¶58 Lopez contends that the defendants defended against the claims of six plaintiffs in this
case and that the case was intertwined with a related action by Trochmann. We need not
address Lopez's contention, however, because the record is clear that his objections to
costs were not timely filed under § 25-10-502, MCA. Accordingly, Lopez waived his right
to object to the defendants' claimed costs.

IT IS FUTHER ORDERED that in all other respects, this Court's Opinion of April 20,
2000, shall remain the same and the Petition for Rehearing is denied. Let remittitur issue
forthwith.

The Clerk of Court is directed to mail a true and correct copy of this order to all counsel of
record.

DATED this 23rd day of May 2000.

                                                      /S/ KARLA M. GRAY

                                                         /S/ JIM REGNIER

                                                    /S/ JAMES C. NELSON
