Reasons

  • Per Hanisee, C.J., with Attrep, J., and Ives, J., concurring: The Court of Appeals decided to affirm the district court's decision based on the reasoning set out in the Court's notice of proposed disposition dated December 21, 2020. The Defendants filed a memorandum in support of the Court's notice, and although the Plaintiff was granted an extension to file a memorandum in opposition, they failed to do so within the extended timeframe. Consequently, the Court relied on its initial reasoning for the proposed disposition to affirm the district court's decision (paras 1-2).
