MEMORANDUM OPINION 1 Appellant (Defendant) appeals from the district court s order that strikes his 2 answer on the basis that it was untimely filed. [RP 160] Our notice proposed to 3 dismiss for lack of a final order. In addition, our notice proposed to deny Appellee s 4 (Plaintiff) request for attorney fees. 5 Defendant did not respond to our notice. See Frick v. Veazey, 116 N.M. 246, 6 247, 861 P.2d 287, 288 (Ct. App. 1993) (explaining that the failure to file a 7 memorandum in opposition to calendar notice constitutes acceptance of proposed 8 disposition). For reasons set forth in our notice, we dismiss for lack of a final order. 9 While Plaintiff filed a response opposing our proposed denial of its request for 10 attorney fees, we remain unpersuaded by Plaintiff s arguments, and therefore deny its 11 request. 12 IT IS SO ORDERED. 13 14 _______________________________ MICHAEL E.
