Montana Supreme Court

State v. J. Anderson

August 26, 20252025 MT 189

Summary

The Court upheld the defendant’s designation and sentence as a persistent felony offender, concluding that the State provided legally sufficient notice and that the minor timing deviations caused no prejudice. The Court also declined to review an unpreserved challenge to the district court’s use of a written omnibus process because the defendant did not establish that plain-error review was necessary to protect fundamental fairness or the integrity of the proceeding.
