Redfern v. Leichty — civil investigative demand
Missoula County District Court, Department of Judge Leslie Halligan · Missoula
Filed June 12, 2026
What was published
A public case index lists Samuel Pascal Redfern, the Montana Veterans Association, and the Montana Veterans Association Foundation as plaintiffs against Marti Leichty, Brent Mead, and the Montana Department of Justice Office of Consumer Protection. The visible docket entry is a petition to extend the return date or to dismiss a civil investigative demand, citing MCA 30-14-113(2), “good cause, violations and medical leave.” It was filed by Redfern on June 12, 2026. The same day the judge assignment was changed manually because of companion cases, to Judge Leslie Halligan. The public case URL carries the number DV-32-2026-0000664. The index’s own table hides that number behind a subscription, and it was last refreshed June 16, 2026.
Where it stands
This is a state civil filing about a consumer-protection investigative demand. It is not a federal civil-rights complaint, and the visible docket line does not say what the state is investigating.
Does not establish
Companion cases are noted and not opened here. Do not treat the petition as a ruling. Do not invent a PACER number for it. There isn’t one: this court is Missoula County, not the District of Montana.
