shall electronically file with Clerk of this Court a copy of the relevant order as an appendix
and include the relevant order as an attached appendix to the paper copies of Appellant’s

        IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the times for any subsequent briefing contained in
M. R. App. P. 13 shall run from the date of filing of the relevant judgment or order.
        The Clerk of this Court is directed to provide a true copy of this Order to counsel for
Appellant and to all counsel upon whom the brief was served.
