    The decision to affirm the district court was based on the procedural posture of the appeal, specifically the Appellee's support for the proposed summary disposition and the Appellants' failure to file a memorandum in opposition. This failure is interpreted under the court's rules as acceptance of the proposed disposition, citing Frick v. Veazey as precedent for this approach (paras 1-2).
