       v.

 BRANDON STAAT,

              Respondent and Appellee.


       Appellee Brandon Staat, via counsel, has moved this Court for an award of attorney
fees should he prevail in this appeal. Staat asserts that the parties' Final Stipulated
Parenting Plan provides for the prevailing party to recover attorney fees incurred to enforce
the parent's rights under the Plan. He relies on In re the Marriage of Toenjes, 2018 MT
189, ¶ 16, 392 Mont. 230, 422 P.3d 1215, in which this Court held it will award attorney
fees to the successful party where the parties' contract provides for such.
       Staat filed his motion concurrently with his Response Brief in the pending appeal.
We will consider this motion and the argument herein as part of his Response Brief and
will incorporate this issue into our decision on appeal.
       THEREFORE,
       IT IS ORDERED that Appellee's Motion SHALL BE CONSIDERED PART OF
APPELLEE'S RESPONSE BRIEF in the pending appeal.
       The Clerk is directed to give notice of this Order to all counsel of record.
       Dated this )e-- day of May,2020.
