 STATE OF MONTANA,

              Plaintiff and Appellee,

       v.                                                          ORDER

 ADRIAN ABELARDO GARCIA,

              Defendant and Appellant.
                                  _________________

       Appellant Adrian Abelardo Garcia appeals from the May 27, 2022 Sentence, Order to
Close File, and Order Exonerating Bond of the Eighth Judicial District Court, Cascade
County, in its Cause No. ADC-20-599. Garcia argues the court erred by failing to give him
sufficient credit for time served.
       The State has filed a Notice of Concession that this matter should be remanded to the
District Court for the purpose of entering an amended sentence and judgment. Without
agreeing with all arguments Garcia has raised, the State agrees the District Court erred by
giving Garcia credit for 422 days served instead of 477 days served.
       Based on Garcia’s opening brief and the State’s concession, and good cause appearing,
       IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this case is REMANDED to the Eighth Judicial
District Court, Cascade County, with instructions for the District Court to amend its Judgment
to provide Garcia credit with 477 days served.
       IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the remainder of this appeal is DISMISSED WITH
PREJUDICE.
       IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that REMITTITUR shall issue IMMEDIATELY UPON
REMAND.
       The Clerk is directed to provide copies of this Order to all counsel of record and to
presiding judge Honorable David J. Grubich.

                                                                               Electronically signed by:
                                                                                     Mike McGrath
                                                                        Chief Justice, Montana Supreme Court
                                                                                   February 29 2024
