We have 9 given due consideration to the memorandum in opposition, and, remaining 10 unpersuaded, we affirm Defendant’s convictions. 11 {3} Defendant raises no new arguments apart from those that she made in her 12 docketing statement [DS 11-12] and in the statement of the issues she filed with the 13 district court in her on-record appeal [RP 121-130]. In this Court’s notice of proposed 14 disposition, we proposed to adopt the district court’s thorough and well-reasoned 15 memorandum opinion in response to Defendant’s arguments. [CN 1-2; see also RP 16 136-142] Defendant has failed to raise any new arguments or issues to convince us to 17 reconsider our proposed adoption of the district court’s memorandum opinion.
