Reasons

• Per JAMES J. WECHSLER, Judge (MICHAEL D. BUSTAMANTE, Judge, TIMOTHY L. GARCIA, Judge concurring), the Court of Appeals proposed to affirm in part and reverse in part the district court's order in a calendar notice. No memorandum in opposition to the calendar notice was received, and the time for doing so had passed. Following the principle that failure to file a memorandum in opposition constitutes acceptance of the proposed disposition, the Court affirmed the judgment for attorney fees in favor of the mother, reversed the award of a witness fee to the mother, and directed the district court to adjust the judgment accordingly.
