Reasons

• KRISTINA BOGARDUS, Judge, with JENNIFER L. ATTREP, Judge, and JACQUELINE R. MEDINA, Judge, concurring: The Court of Appeals decided to affirm the district court's order for several reasons. Primarily, the Respondent's failure to file a memorandum in opposition to the Court of Appeals' proposed disposition was a significant factor. The Court referenced precedents stating that in summary calendar cases, the burden is on the party opposing the proposed disposition to clearly point out errors in fact or law. The Respondent's lack of response was interpreted as an abandonment of the issue, leading to the affirmation of the district court's order (paras 1-2).
