                                    _________________

       This Court reviews briefs to ensure compliance with Rules 11 and 12 of the
Montana Rules of Appellate Procedure. After reviewing the Appellant’s opening brief
filed electronically on March 28, 2022, this Court has determined that the brief does not
comply with the below-referenced Rule and must be resubmitted.
       M. R. App. P. 11(4)(e) requires that a certificate of compliance be filed with the
brief. The brief does not include a certificate of compliance.
Therefore,
       IT IS ORDERED that the referenced brief is rejected.
       IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the briefing schedule will resume in accordance
with the schedule set forth in the Rules of Appellate Procedure upon entry of final
judgment and notification to this Court in accordance with our March 30, 2022 Order.
       The Clerk is directed to provide a true copy of this Order to the Appellant and to
all parties of record.

                                                                            Electronically signed by:
