IN RE THE PARENTING OF M.M.:

ELISE M. GUEST,

             Petitioner and Appellee,
                                                                 ORDER
      v.

PAUL R. MANNELIN,

             Respondent and Appellant.
                                      _________________

       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 22, 2023, this Court has determined that the brief does
not comply with the below-referenced Rule and must be supplemented.
       Pursuant to M. R. App. P. 12(1)(i), appellants must attach an “appendix that
includes 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” to an opening brief. Appellant Paul R.
Mannelin’s appendix did not contain the relevant documents. Accordingly, while the
Court accepts filing of Mr. Mannelin’s Opening Brief, the Court requests Mr. Mannelin
file eight copies of an appendix including the relevant document(s) from which he
appeals.
Therefore,
       IT IS ORDERED that the Appellant file eight copies of an appendix including the
relevant documents from which his appeal is taken within ten (10) days of the date of this
Order with the Clerk of this Court.
       The Clerk is directed provide a true copy of this Order to the Appellant and to all
parties of record.
                                                                            Electronically signed by:
                                                                                  Mike McGrath
                                                                     Chief Justice, Montana Supreme Court
                                                                                February 23 2023
