      v.
                                                                    ORDER
NORTH CENTRAL MONTANA REGIONAL
WATER AUTHORITY,

             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 October 26, 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)(i) provides that an appellant’s opening brief shall contain an
appendix that includes the relevant judgment, orders, findings of fact, conclusions of law,
jury instructions, rulings, or decisions from which the appeal is taken. 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 an Appendix containing documents
required for compliance with the specified Rule and that the Appellant 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 Appellant and to
all parties of record.

                                                                               Electronically signed by:
                                                                                     Mike McGrath
                                                                        Chief Justice, Montana Supreme Court
                                                                                   October 26 2023
