14 {1} Plaintiffs L.P. McKee (Mack) Whittenburg, Lois Whittenburg Rowley, and Roy Robert Whittenburg, Jr., appeal an order of the district court finding them in contempt for their failure to comply with a prior order. This Court’s notice of proposed summary disposition proposed to affirm the order of contempt. [CN 9] Defendant has filed a memorandum in support of that proposed summary disposition. [MIS 1] Plaintiffs, however, have made no responsive filing. Instead, Plaintiffs’ counsel has filed a motion to withdraw as counsel informing us that he has been “instructed to take no further action” in this appeal. [4-20-2018 MOT 2] And, the time in which to file

1 a memorandum in opposition to our proposed disposition has now passed. We, therefore, affirm the contempt order entered by the district court.

3 {2} IT IS SO ORDERED.
