Abstract
We prove a structural result concerning the exit path category associated to a manifold equipped with a smooth action of a finite group . Specifically, the functor is a right fibration and is classified by a natural functor , where is the orbit category of . The main technical result manipulates exit paths to immediately exiting paths, enabling lifts of homotopies in to homotopies in .
