Reasons

• MICHAEL D. BUSTAMANTE, Judge (JAMES J. WECHSLER, Judge, TIMOTHY L. GARCIA, Judge concurring): The Court of Appeals decided to affirm the district court's decisions based on the Plaintiff's failure to file a memorandum in opposition to the notice proposing to affirm both issues, which, according to precedent, constitutes acceptance of the proposed disposition. The Court found it unnecessary to address the merits of the Plaintiff's malicious abuse of process claim in relation to the Defendant's interpleader action, as the Plaintiff did not raise arguments related to it in her docketing statement, and the affirmance of the issues raised was deemed dispositive.
