IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF MONTANA Case Number: OP 24-0214

OP 24-0214 FILED MONTANANS SECURING REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS, and SAMUEL DICKMAN, M.D., APR - 8 2024 Bowen Greenwood Clerk of Supreme Court Petitioner, State of Montana

v. ORDER CHRISTI JACOBSEN, In her Official Capacity as Montana Secretary of State, Respondent.

On April 4, 2024, we issued an alternative writ of mandamus that ordered Montana Secretary of State Christi Jacobsen shall comply with § 13-27-233, MCA, and provide Petitioners Montanans Securing Reproduciive Rights and Samuel Dickman, M.D. ("MSRR") with a finalized sample petition for CI-14 no later than 1:00 p.m. on Friday, April 5, 2024.

We further ordered Jacobsen to file notice of such with this Court concurrent with providing the finalized sample petition to MSRR or show cause why she should not be held in contempt of Court.

On April 5, 2024, Jacobsen provided timely notice to this Court that she had provided the finalized sample petition to MSRR. We therefore conclude she has complied with the writ and no further action of this Court is warranted in this matter.

Therefore, in accordance with Title 27, Chapter 26, of the Montana Code Annotated and M. R. App. P. 14(7), IT IS ORDERED that Montana Secretary of State Christi Jacobsen has SATISFIED the writ and NO FURTHER ACTION is necessary.

DATED this 8th day of April, 2024.
