Disposition

Reasons

• Per ATTREP, Chief Judge, with concurrence from Judges KRISTINA BOGARDUS and MEGAN P. DUFFY:
  The Court of Appeals found that the plaintiffs failed to provide the necessary facts, argument, and information to address and understand their appellate arguments, leading to an affirmation of the district court's judgment (para 1-2).
  The plaintiffs' memorandum in opposition did not elaborate on their claims or provide the requested information that could demonstrate an error in the proposed disposition by the Court of Appeals (para 2).
  The Court noted that it does not reweigh evidence on appeal and that any documents not submitted to the district court could not be considered in the appeal (para 3).
  The plaintiffs' argument regarding the title transfer upon payment completion was not considered an independent basis for appeal, and any motion to amend their docketing statement to include this issue was denied due to lack of a ripe controversy or injury for review (para 4).
  The Court concluded that the plaintiffs did not assert any new facts, law, or argument in their memorandum in opposition that could persuade the Court that the notice of proposed disposition was erroneous, thus affirming the district court's judgment (para 5).
