Reasons

• Per RODERICK T. KENNEDY, Chief Judge (MICHAEL D. BUSTAMANTE, Judge, JONATHAN B. SUTIN, Judge concurring): The Court of Appeals decided to affirm the district court's decision based on the defendant's failure to respond adequately to the court's proposed disposition. First Choice Cash Loans, LLC, repeated the same arguments previously made without pointing out any errors in fact or law or providing new arguments. This lack of a substantive response led the Court to conclude that their initial proposal to affirm the district court's decision was correct (para 1).
