               Plaintiff and Appellee,                                    State of Montana

       v.                                                              ORDER

 BRANDON JEROME LAMBRIGHT,

               Defendant and Appellant.

       Appellant Brandon Jerome Lambright, via counsel, moves for an order remanding
this proceeding to the Nineteenth Judicial District Court, Lincoln County, and dismissing
the remainder of this appeal with prejudice. Appellee State of Montana does not oppose
this motion.
       Lambright asserts that the District Court orally sentenced him to 180 days with 165
days suspended each, to run consecutively, on Counts I and II of the underlying criminal
matter. However, the written judgment erroneously states that Lambright was sentenced
to 365 days with 350 days suspended each, to run consecutively, on Counts I and II.
       Lambright asserts that it is in the best interests ofjustice and efficiency for this Court
to remand this matter to the District Court to conform the written judgment with the oral
pronouncement of sentence.
       IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that this case is REMANDED to the Nineteenth
Judicial District Court for entry of an amended judgment and sentence in accordance with
this Order.
       IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the remainder of this appeal is DISMISSED
WITH PREJUDICE.
         The Clerk is directed to provide copies of this Order to all counsel of record, to the
Clerk of Court for Lincoln County, and to the Honorable Matthew Cuffe, presiding District
Judge.
         Dated this t,    day of June, 2023.

                                                                  Chief Justice

                                                                    Justices
