      v,
                                                                    ORDER

MERCEDES A. BENNICK,

             Defendant 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 December 7, 2023, 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)(d) requires that the statements of facts portion of a brief
contain references to the pages or the parts of the record at which material facts appear.
Therefore,
       IT IS 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 to 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:
                                                                                   James Jeremiah Shea
                                                                             Justice, Montana Supreme Court
                                                                                     December 8 2023
