             Plaintiff and Appellee,

      v.                                                            ORDER

JESUS CHUEY VILLANUEVA,

             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 Appellee’s response brief
filed electronically on June 23, 2021, 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)(h) requires a short conclusion stating the precise relief sought.
Appellee’s brief does not contain a conclusion or a statement of the relief sought.
Therefore,
       IT IS ORDERED that the referenced brief is rejected.
       IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that within ten (10) days of the date of this Order the
Appellee 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 Appellee shall
serve copies of the revised brief on 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 Appellee and to all
counsel of record.

                                                                                   Electronically signed by:
                                                                                          Beth Baker
                                                                              Justice, Montana Supreme Court
                                                                                        June 24 2021
