Reasons

• Per LINDA M. VANZI, Chief Judge (MICHAEL E. VIGIL, Judge, and HENRY M. BOHNHOFF, Judge, concurring): The decision to reverse the conviction for possession of drug paraphernalia and to affirm the other convictions was based on the Defendant's partial agreement with the proposed summary disposition and the lack of a responsive memorandum from the State. The Court's reasoning for its decision is grounded in the arguments presented by the Defendant and the absence of opposition from the State, leading to an affirmation in part and a reversal in part of the initial convictions.
