Currently pending before the Court is Third-Party Defendant Tutco, Inc.’s Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Personal Jurisdiction. (Doc. 18.) On March 25, 2021, the United States Supreme Court issued its opinion in Ford Motor Co. v. Montana Eighth Judicial District Court, S.Ct. (2021). Defendant Hoseline, Inc. cites to the Montana Supreme Court’s opinion, Ford Motor Co. v. Montana Eighth Judicial District Court, 443 P.3d 407 (Mont. 2019), in its response brief. (Doc. 23 at 5.) The Court believes the United States Supreme Court’s opinion in Ford Motor Company is potentially relevant to the proper adjudication of Tutco’s motion. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that the parties may file a supplemental brief, on or before April 5, 2021, addressing the impact of the United States Supreme Court’s opinion in Ford Motor Company on Tutco’s motion (Doc. 18). IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that any supplemental briefs shall not exceed 2000 words. DATED this 25th day of March, 2021. hat Ait — Dana L. Christensen, District Judge United States District Court
