Disposition

  • The Court of Appeals summarily affirmed the Defendant's conviction for driving while intoxicated.

Reasons

  • J. Miles Hanisee, Chief Judge, with Jennifer L. Attrep and Briana H. Zamora, Judges, concurring, found that the Defendant's memorandum in opposition did not present any new facts, law, or arguments that would persuade the Court that the notice of proposed disposition was erroneous. The Court referred to its analysis in the notice of proposed disposition and previous case law stating the burden is 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 Defendant's conviction (paras 1-3).
