13 MEMORANDUM OPINION BUSTAMANTE, Judge.

15 McElvain Oil & Gas Properties, Inc. (McElvain) seeks to appeal from an order granting co-Defendant United Drilling, Inc.’s (United’s) motion for summary judgment, together with a stipulated order dismissing all of Plaintiffs’ claims against United. We filed a notice of proposed summary disposition on February 13, 2012, proposing to dismiss for want of a final, appealable order. On March 1, 2012, memoranda in support were filed by United and Plaintiffs. No memorandum in opposition has been filed, and the time for doing so has passed.

1 Accordingly, for the reasons set forth in the notice of proposed summary disposition, this appeal is dismissed.

3 IT IS SO ORDERED.
