 STATE OF MONTANA,

              Plaintiff and Appellee,

       v.                                                               ORDER

 DANIEL HUNTER FLANSBURG,

              Defendant and Appellant.
                                  _________________

       Appellant Daniel Hunter Flansburg appeals from the Sentencing Order and Judgment
of the Eighth Judicial District Court, Cascade County, in its Cause No. BDC-19-097.
Flansburg argues the District Court erred by failing to give him credit for 169 days served
because it calculated his time from the wrong start date.
       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. The State
agrees that in this case the District Court erred in failing to give Flansburg credit for sufficient
days served and that Flansburg is due credit for an additional 169 days.
       Based on Flansburg’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
and Commitment to give Flansburg credit for an additional 169 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 Elizabeth A. Best.

                                                                                   Electronically signed by:
                                                                                         Mike McGrath
                                                                            Chief Justice, Montana Supreme Court
                                                                                       December 8 2023
