5 MEMORANDUM OPINION
6 VIGIL, Judge.
7 Plaintiff appeals the district court’s order granting summary judgment in
8 favor of Defendants Leigh Angelliss and Ambercare Hospice, Inc. Persuaded by
9 Plaintiff’s docketing statement that the district court applied an incorrect legal
10 standard to Plaintiff’s claim for tortious interference with contract, we issued a
11 notice of proposed summary disposition, proposing to summarily reverse and
12 remand. Neither Defendant Leigh Angellis nor Defendant Ambercare Hospice,
13 Inc., have filed a response to our notice, and the time for doing so has expired.
14 “Failure to file a memorandum in opposition constitutes acceptance of the
15 disposition proposed in the calendar notice.” Frick v. Veazey, 116 N.M. 246, 247,
16 861 P.2d 287, 288 (Ct. App. 1993). Therefore, for the reasons set forth in our
17 notice, we reverse the order granting summary judgment in favor of Defendants
18 Leigh Angellis and Ambercare Hospice, Inc. We remand for the district court to
2 1 apply the standards for tortious interference with contract by improper means
2 articulated in Zarr v. Washington Tru Solutions, LLC, 2009-NMCA-050, ¶ 11, 146
