22 MEMORANDUM OPINION
23 VIGIL, Judge.
24 Defendant appeals numerous convictions arising from a domestic dispute. In
25 particular, he attacks the sufficiency of the evidence to support the convictions. In our
1 second notice, we proposed to affirm all but one of the convictions. We proposed to
2 reverse the conviction for criminal damage to property of another pursuant to State v.
3 Powels, 2003-NMCA-090, 134 N.M. 118, 73 P.3d 256. The State has responded that
4 it does not contest that reversal. With regard to the remaining convictions, Defendant
5 continues to argue that the evidence was insufficient. He does not, however, present
6 us with any further law, facts, or arguments or point out any errors in our analysis.
7 Therefore, we continue to rely on our proposal regarding the sufficiency of the
8 evidence as stated in our first calendar notice. See State v. Sisneros, 98 N.M. 201,
9 202-03, 647 P.2d 403, 404-05 (1982).
10 For the reasons set out in the first calendar notice, we affirm the convictions of
11 false imprisonment, two counts of interference with communications, assault on a
12 household member, and battery of a household member. The conviction for criminal
13 damage to property is reversed. This case is remanded to the district court to vacate
14 the conviction for criminal damage to property and to resentence Defendant.
15 IT IS SO ORDERED.
