Reasons

• Per Michael D. Bustamante, J. (Jonathan B. Sutin, J., and M. Monica Zamora, J., concurring): The Court of Appeals decided to affirm the district court's judgment after considering the Defendant's memorandum in opposition to the notice of proposed disposition. The Defendant did not present any new arguments or issues that could persuade the Court to reconsider its proposed disposition. The Court referred to the district court’s memorandum opinion for responses to the Defendant's arguments and cited precedents emphasizing the burden on the party opposing the proposed disposition to clearly point out errors in fact or law. The repetition of earlier arguments did not fulfill this requirement, leading to the affirmation of the conviction (paras 1-4).
