           IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF MONTANA

                               OP 23-0423 and OP 23-0424

 SILAS J. CORPRON,

              Petitioner,

      v.
                                                                    ORDER
 JAMES SALMONSEN,
 Warden,

             Respondent.

       This Court consolidates these two Petitions for Writ of Habeas Corpus, filed by self-
represented Petitioner Silas J. Corpron. Corpron challenges the amount of credit for time
served that he received in sentences from the First Judicial District Court and the Fifth
Judicial District Court. We amend the caption to indicate Warden Salmonsen of the
Montana State Prison where Corpron is currently incarcerated. Section 46-22-201(1)(c),
MCA. We further observe that Corpron has not served a copy of either Petition upon the
Attorney General for the State of Montana, instead only serving the Clerk of the Supreme
Court. See § 46-22-206(1), MCA and M. R. App. P. 10(2). We, however, deem it
appropriate to require a response. Therefore,
       IT IS ORDERED that that the Attorney General or counsel for the Department of
Correction is GRANTED thirty days from the date of this Order in which to prepare, file,
and serve a written response to the petition for a writ of habeas corpus together with
appropriate documentary exhibits.
       The Clerk is directed to provide a copy of this Order to counsel of record, along
with copies of his two Petitions, and to Silas J. Corpron personally.
       DATED this I 5 4-    day of August, 2023.
