Disposition

Reasons

• The Court, consisting of Judges James J. Wechsler, Michael D. Bustamante, and Michael E. Vigil, unanimously affirmed the district court's decision. The Court found that the Plaintiff failed to comply with procedural rules by not providing a concise, accurate statement of the case, including material facts, preservation of issues, and supporting authorities in his docketing statement and memorandum in opposition. The Plaintiff's allegations against the Defendant and the district judge were unsupported by detailed evidence or legal authority. The Court presumed the district court's correctness due to insufficient information to address the Plaintiff's claims. The evidence presented was deemed sufficient to support the district court's determination that the Defendant was not at fault, as it was the fact finder's role to resolve conflicts in evidence. The Plaintiff's attempt to assign fault to the Defendant for leaving the scene of the accident was dismissed due to lack of supporting authority. The Court did not consider an unofficial transcript filed with the Court as there was no motion to supplement the record or stipulation from the parties for its inclusion.
