Reasons

• Per Jonathan B. Sutin, with Henry M. Bohnhoff and Emil J. Kiehne, Judges, concurring: The Court of Appeals decided to affirm the district court's decisions based on the reasons set forth in their notice of proposed summary disposition. The respondent's failure to respond to the notice of proposed summary disposition, despite being given twenty days to do so, was interpreted as an abandonment of the appeal. This lack of response played a crucial role in the court's decision to affirm the district court's orders (paras 1-2).
