Disposition

  • The Court of Appeals affirmed the district court’s order granting summary judgment in favor of Defendants.

Reasons

  • Per MEDINA, J. (HANISEE, C.J., and ATTREP, J., concurring): The Court of Appeals proposed to summarily affirm the district court's decision based on the Plaintiff's docketing statement, which apparently failed to demonstrate error. The Defendants supported this proposed disposition. The Plaintiff did not respond to the proposed summary disposition, and the time for doing so passed. Citing Frick v. Veazey, the Court noted that failure to file a memorandum in opposition constitutes acceptance of the proposed disposition. Therefore, for the reasons provided in their calendar notice, the Court affirmed the district court's order granting summary judgment in favor of the Defendants (paras 1-2).
