IN RE THE MARRIAGE OF:

CHAD MICHAEL BESSETTE,

Petitioner and Appellee, O R D E R v.

JENNIFER RUTH BESSETTE,

Respondent and Appellant. ______

This Court reviews briefs to ensure compliance with Rules 10, 11 and 12 of the Montana Rules of Appellate Procedure. After reviewing the Appellee’s response filed electronically on May 15, 2018, this Court has determined that the brief does not comply with the below- referenced Rule and must be supplemented. M. R. App. P. 10(4) requires the Appellee’s response brief to include a certificate of service in the form of a statement of the date and manner of service and of the names and addresses of the persons served, certified by the person who made service. Appellee’s response brief filed with this Court on March 29, 2018, does not contain a certificate of service. The clerk has permitted the papers to be filed without a certificate of service, but the certificate must be filed within five (5) business days. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that the referenced brief is accepted; IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that within five (5) days of the date of this Order the Appellee shall file with the Clerk of this Court a certificate of service necessary to comply with the specified Rule; IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that no changes, additions, or deletions other than those specified in this Order may be made to the brief as originally filed. The Clerk is directed to provide a true copy of this Order to the Appellee and to all parties of record.

Electronically signed by: Justice, Montana Supreme Court May 15 2018
