King, Attorney General 10 Santa Fe, NM 11 for Appellee 12 Scott M. Davison 13 Albuquerque, NM 14 for Appellant 15 MEMORANDUM OPINION 16 FRY, Judge. 17 {1} Defendant had appealed from the district court’s judgment and sentence, 18 entered pursuant to a jury trial, convicting him for the charges of first degree 19 kidnapping, second degree criminal sexual penetration, and aggravated battery of a 1 household member causing great bodily harm. We were not persuaded that 2 Defendant’s docketing statement demonstrated error and issued a notice of proposed 3 summary disposition, proposing to affirm. Defendant filed several pleadings in this 4 Court, but no memorandum in opposition in Case Number 32,156 and no docketing 5 statement in Case Number 32,518. We issued several orders in response to defense 6 counsel’s conduct, including an order to show cause in person and an order quashing 7 the order to show cause that also consolidated Case Numbers 32,156 and 32,518, and 8 ordered Defendant to file either a memorandum in opposition or a notice of intent that 9 no memorandum in opposition will be filed. Defendant has filed a notice of intent to 10 waive the filing of the memorandum in opposition. For the reasons set forth in the 11 notice, therefore, we affirm the district court’s judgment and sentence. 12 {2} IT IS SO ORDERED. 13 14 CYNTHIA A. FRY, Judge 15 WE CONCUR: 16 17 RODERICK T.
