Steinnes read the petition filed on April 20, 2022, and ratify and affirms the filing of said document. It is further
ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court is directed to attach to the copy of this Order served on petitioners a form which may be used by petitioner Shelia W. Steinnes for purposes of ratifying the petition.
