Disposition

Reasons

  • Per ATTREP, J. (MEDINA, J., and HENDERSON, J., concurring): The Court of Appeals decided to affirm the district court's judgment against Joe Vega, primarily because Vega failed to demonstrate any error on appeal. The court noted that the burden of demonstrating error rests with the appellant, and in this case, Vega did not file a memorandum in opposition to the court's proposed summary affirmance. The decision was also influenced by the presumption of correctness of the trial court's rulings or decisions, which Vega did not successfully challenge (paras 1-2).
