Disposition

Reasons

  • Per ATTREP, J., with MEDINA, J., and IVES, J., concurring: The Court of Appeals remained unpersuaded by the Plaintiff's memorandum in opposition and referred to its previous analysis in the notice of proposed disposition. The Plaintiff failed to assert any new facts, law, or argument that could persuade the Court that the notice of proposed disposition was erroneous. The Court emphasized the burden on the party opposing the proposed disposition to clearly point out errors in fact or law, noting that the repetition of earlier arguments does not fulfill this requirement (para 2).
