MEMORANDUM OPINION

SUTIN, Judge.

{1}       Respondent, a self-represented litigant, appeals from the district court’s order disallowing his claim against the Estate, its order of ejectment, and its order releasing lien. We issued a notice of proposed summary disposition, proposing to affirm and denying Respondent’s many motions. Our notice was filed on July 18, 2017. No response to our notice has been filed and the time for doing so has long expired. See Rule 12-210(D)(3) NMRA (giving parties twenty days in which to respond to a notice of proposed disposition). The failure to respond results in an abandonment of the appeal. See State v. Salenas, 1991-NMCA-056, ¶ 2, 112 N.M. 268, 814 P.2d 136. For the reasons set forth in our notice, we affirm.

{2}       IT IS SO ORDERED.
