              Petitioner and Appellant,                                            01 1\401 LiAnal

       v.                                                             ORDER

 STATE OF MONTANA,

              Respondent and Appellee.

       The State moves this Court to strike three sections of Norquay's Reply Brief
because, the State asserts, they are inaccurate and lack any citation to authority, as required
by M. R. App. P. 12(1)(g). The State further asserts that Norquay's argument that the
District Court improperly dismissed his second actual innocence claim should be dismissed
because it is being improperly raised for the first time in his reply brief. The State requests
that if this Court declines to strike these sections of Norquay's Reply Brief, we be apprised
that the State disagrees with these assertions. Norquay opposes the State's motion.
       This matter is fully briefed. Following classification of this matter, the State's
motion will be considered. Therefore,
       IT IS ORDERED that the State's Motion to Strike Statements in Appellant's Reply
Brief is TAKEN UNDER ADVISEMENT.
       The Clerk is dire    d,to provide a copy of this Order to counsel of record.
       DATED this       IC-day of March, 2023.

                                                                  Chief J stice
