ALICIA DORMAN and JASON FORTNEY,

             Defendants and Appellees.

       On May 8, 2023, this Court returned Appellants' opening brief for failure to comply with
the applicable Montana Rules of Appellate Procedure and ordered Appellants to correct the brief
and file it no later than 30 days from the date of the Order. Appellants did not do so and on June
20, 2023, we ordered Appellants to prepare, file, and serve the corrected brief no later than July
19, 2023. We advised appellants that failure to file the brief in compliance with the Montana
Rules of Appellate Procedure could subject this matter to summary dismissal.
       Appellants have not timely filed their opening brief in compliance with this Court's June
20, 2023 Order.
       IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that this case is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.
       The Clerk is directed to provide a copy of this Order to all parties.
       DATED this I       cla.y of August, 2023.
