IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF MONTANA Case Number: DA 21-0582
Supreme Court No. DA 21-0582
KIM NORQUAY, JR.,
Petitioner and Appellant,
v.
STATE OF MONTANA,
Respondent and Appellee.
GRANT OF EXTENSION
Counsel for Appellant Kim Norquay, Jr., has filed an unopposed
motion seeking a 30-day extension of the briefing deadlines in this
matter. Counsel asserts the continuance is necessary because, upon
review of the record, he has determined he has a conflict of interest and
is no longer able to represent the Appellant in this matter.
Consequently, the Appellate will require new counsel. Once located,
that counsel will require additional time to review the record and
prepare the Appellant’s Opening Brief.
The State does not object to the Motion.
THEREFORE, the Motion is Granted. The Opening Brief in this
Matter, currently due on April 4, 2022, is now due on May 4, 2022. The
Office of the Appellate Defender is directed to locate new counsel for
this Appellant.

Mike McGrath
