Reasons

  • Per LINDA M. VANZI, Chief Judge (M. MONICA ZAMORA, Judge, JULIE J. VARGAS, Judge concurring): The Court found that the Petitioner did not present any new facts, law, or arguments that could persuade the Court to alter its proposed disposition of summary affirmance. The Petitioner's repetition of earlier arguments did not fulfill the requirement to specifically point out errors in fact or law. The decision to affirm the district court's order was based on the reasons stated in the Court's notice of proposed disposition and the memorandum opinion (paras 1-3).
