Disposition

  • The Court of Appeals affirmed the Defendant's conviction for the unlawful taking of a motor vehicle.

Reasons

  • Per Michael E. Vigil, J. (Emil J. Kiehne, J., and Daniel J. Gallegos, J., concurring): The court was not persuaded by the Defendant's memorandum in opposition to the notice of proposed disposition, which argued for the suppression of his statement. The Defendant did not present new facts, authority, or arguments that could lead the court to reconsider its proposed disposition. The court referred to its analysis in the notice of proposed disposition for its reasoning, emphasizing the Defendant's failure to meet the burden of clearly pointing out errors in fact or law in response to a summary calendar notice (paras 1-3).
