MEMORANDUM OPINION

MEDINA, Judge.

{1} Plaintiff appeals from the district court’s order granting summary judgment in favor of Defendants. Unpersuaded that Plaintiff’s docketing statement demonstrated error, we proposed to summarily affirm in a calendar notice. Defendants filed a memorandum in support of our proposed summary disposition. Plaintiff, however, has not responded to our proposed disposition, and the time for doing so has passed. “Failure to file a memorandum in opposition constitutes acceptance of the disposition proposed in the calendar notice.” Frick v. Veazey, 1993-NMCA-119, ¶ 2, 116 N.M. 246, 861 P.2d 287. Thus, for the reasons provided in our calendar notice, we affirm the district court’s order granting summary judgment.

{2} IT IS SO ORDERED.

JACQUELINE R. MEDINA, Judge

WE CONCUR:

J. MILES HANISEE, Chief Judge
