                                        DA 23-0010
                                     _________________

IN THE MATTER OF:

D.Y.H-J and R.J.,                                                   ORDER

             A Youth in Need of Care.

       This Court reviews briefs to ensure compliance with the Montana Rules of
Appellate Procedure. After reviewing the Appellant’s opening brief filed electronically
on April 27, 2023, this Court has determined that the brief does not comply with the
below-referenced Rule and must be resubmitted.
       M. R. App. P. 10(6) requires that in any proceeding regarding abused and
neglected children under Title 41, Chapter 3, only the initials of the parent(s) may be
used. On page 9 of the Appellant’s opening brief, the name of the Father is used.
Therefore,
       IT IS ORDERED that the referenced brief is rejected.
       IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that within ten (10) days of the date of this Order the
Appellant shall electronically file with the Clerk of this Court a revised brief containing
the revisions necessary to comply with the specified Rule and that the Appellant shall
serve copies of the revised brief on all parties of record;
       IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that no changes, additions, or deletions other than
those specified in this Order may be made to the brief as originally filed; 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 revised brief.
       The Clerk is directed to provide a true copy of this Order to the Appellant and to
all parties of record.

                                                                                   Electronically signed by:
                                                                                       Ingrid Gustafson
                                                                              Justice, Montana Supreme Court
                                                                                         April 27 2023
