Disposition

• The Court of Appeals affirmed the district court's order of contempt against the plaintiffs.

Reasons

• J. MILES HANISEE, Judge (with JULIE J. VARGAS, Judge, and DANIEL J. GALLEGOS, Judge concurring): The decision to affirm the district court's order of contempt was based on the plaintiffs' failure to respond to the Court of Appeals' notice of proposed summary disposition, which suggested affirming the order of contempt. The defendant filed a memorandum in support of the proposed summary disposition. The plaintiffs' counsel informed the court of his instruction to take no further action in the appeal, and the time for filing a memorandum in opposition to the proposed disposition had passed, leading to the affirmation of the contempt order by the Court of Appeals (paras 1-2).
