     Appellant Billie Jo Henderson moves to stay his appeal and to

remand to the Eighth Judicial District Court, Cascade County, for

GRANTED, and the briefing schedule is VACATED. The Clerk is

directed to transmit the record to the Eighth Judicial District Court. If

the District Court denies Ms. Henderson’s motion for a new trial, it

shall promptly transmit its written order and the record back to this

Court, and the appellate briefing schedule will commence upon

transmittal of the record. If the District Court grants Ms. Henderson’s
motion for a new trial, the parties shall give notice to the Clerk of this

Court forthwith, and the appeal will be dismissed as moot.

     The Clerk of this Court is directed to provide a copy of this Order

to all counsel of record in this case as well as to the Honorable Elizabeth

A. Best.
