Plaintiff and Appellant,                                        ORDER

v.

ALPHA SIGMA PHI (MONTANA
STATE UNIVERSITY CHAPTER),
and CITY OF BOZEMAN,

          Defendants and Appellees.
                                      _________________

          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 February 12, 2024, this Court has determined that the brief does not

comply with the below-referenced Rule and must be resubmitted.

          M. R. App. P. 12(1)(i) requires appellants to attach an appendix including “the

relevant judgment, order(s), findings of fact, conclusions of law, jury instruction(s),

ruling(s), or decision(s) from which the appeal is taken together with any written

memorandum or rationale of the court, and those pages of the transcript containing any oral

ruling in support.” Appellant’s brief does not contain an appendix nor the referenced

orders.
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
                                                                                      February 13 2024
