Facts

Procedural History

  • Plaintiff-Appellee: [Not applicable or not found]

Legal Issues

  • Whether the evidence was sufficient to support the Defendant's conviction for aggravated driving while intoxicated (refusal).

Disposition

  • The Court of Appeals affirmed the Defendant’s conviction.

Reasons

  • Judges Jacqueline R. Medina, Zachary A. Ives, and Jane B. Yohalem concurred in the decision. The Court considered the Defendant's memorandum in opposition but remained unpersuaded by her arguments against the sufficiency of the evidence regarding her being the driver on the evening in question (para 1-3). The Court referenced its notice of proposed disposition, where it had already addressed and rejected the Defendant's argument. The Defendant's repetition of earlier arguments did not fulfill the requirement to specifically point out errors of law and fact. The Court cited previous cases to support the principle that the burden is on the party opposing the proposed disposition to clearly point out errors in fact or law (para 2).
