MEMORANDUM OPINION

BUSTAMANTE, Judge.

Defendants R.R. Pyle and Margaret Pyle (“Appellants”) appeal pro se from an order granting summary judgment to Plaintiffs on Plaintiffs’ claim to quiet title and for slander of title. [RP 182] We proposed to dismiss for lack of a sufficiently final order in a notice of proposed summary disposition. Appellants have filed a memorandum in opposition, and Plaintiffs have filed a memorandum in support of our proposed summary disposition.

After reviewing Appellants’ memorandum, which fails to address our concerns as to finality, we are unconvinced that our proposed disposition is in error. Therefore, for the reasons set forth in our notice of proposed summary dismissal, we dismiss Appellants’ appeal for lack of a sufficiently final order. See NMSA 1978, § 39-3-2 (1966); Kelly Inn No. 102, Inc. v. Kapnison, 113 N.M. 231, 234-40, 824 P.2d 1033, 1036-42 (1992).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
