 PLANNED PARENTHOOD OF MONTANA
 and PAUL FREDERICK HENKE, M.D., on
 behalf of themselves and their patients,

              Plaintiffs and Appellees,

       v.
                                                                     ORDER
 STATE OF MONTANA and AUSTIN
 KNUDSEN, Attorney General of the State of
 Montana, in his official capacity, and his agents
 and successors,

              Defendants and Appellants.
                                _________________

       Nicole Saharsky, of Washington, DC, has submitted an application to appear pro
hac vice before this Court in the above-entitled cause.
       The application demonstrates that Petitioner Saharsky is currently in good standing
with another state jurisdiction in which Saharsky is admitted to the practice of law,
Montana counsel listed in the application is in good standing with the State Bar of Montana,
and this is the first appearance of Petitioner.       According to the Bar Admissions
Administrator, however, this would be the fourth appearance of Petitioner’s firm before
this Court. Rule VI(C) of our Rules for Admission to the Bar of Montana requires a
showing of good cause before an attorney or firm may be granted leave to appear pro hac
vice in more than two actions or proceedings. Pending consideration of a renewed
application with a statement of good cause,
       IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the application of Nicole Saharsky to appear pro
hac vice in the above-entitled cause is DENIED without prejudice.
       The Clerk is directed to provide copies of this order to Nichole Saharsky, to all
counsel of record in this appeal, and to the State Bar of Montana.

                                                                              Electronically signed by:
                                                                                     Beth Baker
                                                                         Justice, Montana Supreme Court
                                                                                December 18 2023
