             Petitioner,                                           State of Montana

      v.                                                            ORDER

CHRISTI JACOBSEN, In her Official Capacity
as Montana Secretary of State,

             Respondent.

       On April 4, 2024, we issued an alternative writ of mandamus that ordered Montana
Secretary of State Christi Jacobsen shall comply with § 13-27-233, MCA, and provide
Petitioners Montanans Securing Reproduciive Rights and Samuel Dickman, M.D. ("MSRR")
with a finalized sample petition for CI-14 no later than 1:00 p.m. on Friday, April 5, 2024.
We further ordered Jacobsen to file notice of such with this Court concurrent with providing
the finalized sample petition to MSRR or show cause why she should not be held in
contempt of Court.
       On April 5, 2024, Jacobsen provided timely notice to this Court that she had provided
the finalized sample petition to MSRR. We therefore conclude she has complied with the
writ and no further action of this Court is warranted in this matter.
       Therefore, in accordance with Title 27, Chapter 26, of the Montana Code Annotated
and M. R. App. P. 14(7),
       IT IS ORDERED that Montana Secretary of State Christi Jacobsen has SATISFIED
the writ and NO FURTHER ACTION is necessary.
       DATED this 8th day of April, 2024.
       Chief Justice
