Reasons

• Per Michael D. Bustamante, J., with Michael E. Vigil, Chief Judge, and Timothy L. Garcia, Judge concurring: The Court noted that a party responding to a proposed disposition must point out specific errors in fact or law, which the Defendant failed to do. Instead, the Defendant repeated the same facts and arguments previously made. The Court proposed to adopt the district court’s thorough and well-reasoned memorandum opinion in response to Defendant’s arguments. The Defendant did not present any new arguments or issues that would convince the Court to reconsider its proposed adoption of the district court’s memorandum opinion. Therefore, for the reasons set forth in the Court's notice of proposed disposition and the memorandum opinion of the district court, the Defendant's convictions were affirmed (paras 2-4).
