Procedural History

  • Defendant-Appellee/Cross-Appellant: Failed to file a docketing statement as required, leading to the proposed dismissal of his cross-appeal. Did not file a response to the court's notice of proposed disposition.

Legal Issues

  • Whether the district court's order of dismissal was erroneous.
  • Whether the Defendant's cross-appeal should be dismissed for failure to comply with procedural requirements.

Disposition

  • The district court’s order of dismissal is affirmed.
  • The Defendant’s cross-appeal is dismissed.

Reasons

  • The decision was made by a panel consisting of Judges Julie J. Vargas, Linda M. Vanzi, and Megan P. Duffy. The court affirmed the district court's order of dismissal because the Plaintiff failed to clearly demonstrate any error in the district court's ruling or provide sufficient grounds for the appeal (paras 1-2). Additionally, the Defendant's cross-appeal was dismissed due to non-compliance with the procedural requirement of filing a docketing statement, and the Defendant's failure to respond to the court's notice of proposed disposition was taken as acceptance of the proposed dismissal (paras 3-4).
