Legal Issues

  • Whether there was sufficient evidence to support the Defendant's conviction for driving while under the influence of alcohol (impaired to the slightest degree).

Disposition

  • The Court of Appeals summarily affirmed the Defendant's conviction.

Reasons

  • The decision was authored by Chief Judge J. Miles Hanisee, with Judges Kristina Bogardus and Briana H. Zamora concurring. The Court considered the Defendant's memorandum in opposition but found no new facts, law, or arguments that persuaded them to alter their proposed disposition to affirm the conviction. The Court referenced previous case law stating the burden is on the party opposing the proposed disposition to clearly point out errors in fact or law, which the Defendant failed to do by merely repeating earlier arguments. Therefore, the Court referred to its analysis in the notice of proposed disposition and summarily affirmed the Defendant’s conviction (paras 1-3).
