On March 1, 2024, this Court issued Order for Additional Information and to Temporarily Seal file. On March 13, 2024, Petitioner, Robert James Caves filed an Affidavit with Addendums attached thereto. Previously, Petitioner filed a Petition for Name Change (Safety at Risk).

This matter shall be unsealed.

A hearing on the Petition for Name Change shall be held on Monday, May 13, 2024, at 10:00 A.M. at the courtroom of the Phillips County Courthouse in Malta, Montana.

The notice of hearing shall be published in the Phillips County News for four (4) consecutive weeks prior to the hearing. Failure to publish notice will result in the dismissal of this matter.

The Clerk shall send a copy of this Order to Petitioner.
