15 L. Helen Bennett Albuquerque, NM for Appellant 18 MEMORANDUM OPINION VANZI, Chief Judge.

1 {1} Mother appeals from the district court’s custody order, ruling, among other things, that Child should remain with Father in New Mexico and not move to California to live with Mother, Child’s stepfather, and his step- and half-siblings. We issued a notice of proposed summary disposition, acknowledging that this was a difficult custody decision. We saw no abuse of discretion, however, and proposed to affirm. Mother has responded to our calendar notice with a notice of intent, indicating that she does not intend to file a memorandum in opposition and will not oppose our proposed disposition.

9 {2} For the reasons stated in our notice, we affirm the district court.

10 {3} IT IS SO ORDERED.
