¶1 The Milky Whey, Inc., appeals the decision of the Fourth Judicial District Court granting Dairy Partners, LLC, and Scott Stefan’s motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction. We address the following issues on appeal:

1. Whether the District Court correctly ruled that Dairy Partners’ notice of appearance of counsel did not waive jurisdictional objections.

2. Whether the District Court correctly held that Montana’s long-arm statute does not confer personal jurisdiction over Dairy Partners.

¶2 We affirm.
