1Opinion of the CourtJustice Baker
¶1 Chad Cringle appeals the order of the First Judicial District Court, Lewis and Clark County, remanding this case to the Montana Human Rights Commission for further proceedings in his discrimination complaint against BNSF Railway Company (BNSF). The dispositive issue on appeal is whether BNSF has demonstrated sufficient grounds to excuse its noncompliance with the fourteen-day filing deadline of § 49-2-505(3)(c), MCA.
¶2 We reverse the District Court’s order and remand with instructions to deny BNSF’s petition for judicial review and to enter judgment in favor of Cringle.
