SOUTHWEST DISTRIBUTING CO., d/b/a SWD URETHANE,

Petitioner,

v. ORDER MONTANA NINETEENTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, LINCOLN COUNTY, HON. MATTHEW J. CUFFE, Presiding Judge, FILED Respondent. FEB - 8 2024 Bowen Greenwood Clerk of Supreme Court State of Montana

Petitioner Southwest Distributing Co., d/b/a SWD Urethane (Southwest) seeks a writ of supervisory control over the Montana Nineteenth Judicial District Court in Cause No. DV-22-72 to reverse that court's November 21, 2023 Opinion and Order Re: Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Personal Jurisdiction that denied Southwest's motion to dismiss. Southwest maintains the District Court erred in concluding it could exercise personal jurisdiction over Southwest pursuant to M. R. Civ. P. 4(b)(1). Having reviewed the Petition and the challenged Order, this Court deems it appropriate to obtain a summary response. Therefore, in accordance with M. R. App. P. 14(7), IT IS ORDERED that the Nineteenth Judicial District Court and the named parties in Cause No. DV-22-72 are granted to and including March 8, 2024, to prepare, file, and serve responses to the petition for writ of supervisory control. The Clerk is directed to provide immediate notice of this Order to counsel for Petitioner, all counsel of record in the Nineteenth Judicial District Court Cause No. DV-22-72, and to the Honorable Matthew J. Cuffe, presiding District Judge. DATED this 8 4 day of February, 2024. For the Court,
