STEVEN J. BALKOSKI, Petitioner, v. MONTANA EIGHTEENTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, GALLATIN COUNTY, HONORABLE JOHN C. BROWN, Presiding, Respondent.
ORDER
Petitioner Steven J. Balkoski seeks a writ of supervisory control over the Eighteenth Judicial District Court, Gallatin County, in its Cause No. DV-2019-726C. Balkoski alleges he has made numerous attempts to enforce the judgment in this case, the judgment has not been stayed on appeal, and the District Court has taken no action in response to motions filed.
After receiving Balkoski's Petition, we granted the District Court, and Faye Jackson, as Personal Representative of the Estate of Edna M. Balkoski, opportunity to respond in accordance with M. R. App. P. 14(7). The court and Jackson each responded in opposition to Balkoski's petition.
However, this Court has now disposed of the case from which Balkoski's petition originates, as it has affirmed the District Court on appeal. Thus the issue Balkoski raised via his Petition is moot.
Jackson v. Balkoski, 2024 MT 203N,___Mont.___,___P.3d___.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the petition for a writ of supervisory control is DENIED and DISMISSED as MOOT.
The Clerk is directed to provide immediate notice of this Order to counsel for Petitioner, all parties in the Eighteenth Judicial District Court, Gallatin County, Cause No. DV-2019-726C, and the Honorable John C. Brown, presiding.
