Legal Issues

  • (N/A)

Disposition

  • The Court of Appeals affirmed the Defendant's convictions for criminal damage to property (over $1,000) and defacing tombs.

Reasons

  • Per Ives, J., with Hanisee, J., and Medina, J., concurring: The Court considered the Defendant's memorandum in opposition but found it unpersuasive as it did not present any new facts, law, or argument beyond what was already considered in the notice of proposed disposition. The Defendant's repetition of earlier arguments did not fulfill the requirement to specifically point out errors in fact or law. Therefore, the Court referred to its analysis in the notice of proposed disposition and affirmed the Defendant's convictions (paras 1-3).
