IN THE COURT OF APPEALS OF THE STATE OF NEW MEXICO RAUL A. CANO C., Plaintiff-Appellant, v. No. A-1-CA-37848 JEFFREY PETERSON, Defendant-Appellee.

APPEAL FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF BERNALILLO COUNTY Carl J. Butkus, District Judge Raul A. Cano C.

Albuquerque, NM Pro Se Appellant Allen Law Firm, LLC Michelle Maire Lalley Blake Albuquerque, NM for Appellee MEMORANDUM OPINION VANZI, Judge. {1} Plaintiff, a self-represented litigant, appeals the district court’s affirmance of the metropolitan court’s order of dismissal. This Court issued a notice of proposed disposition, proposing to affirm. Plaintiff filed a memorandum in opposition, which we have duly considered. Unpersuaded, we affirm. {2} On appeal, Plaintiff contends that the trial court erred by refusing to admit two documents (a repair order and NADA car values) under exceptions to the hearsay rule. [DS 2] Our notice proposed to adopt the district court’s recitation of the facts, the applicable law, and its reasoning and result. {3} In response, Plaintiff has not asserted any new facts, law, or argument. He simply “ask[s] to be rewarded more money from this matter [and contends] the law was not applied in the correct way.” [MIO 1] This does not persuade us that our adoption of the district court’s memorandum opinion, as laid out in our calendar notice, is incorrect.

See State v. Mondragon, 1988-NMCA-027, ¶ 10, 107 N.M. 421, 759 P.2d 1003 (stating that a party responding to a summary calendar notice must come forward and specifically point out errors of law and fact, and the repetition of earlier arguments does not fulfill this requirement), superseded by statute on other grounds as stated in State v. Harris, 2013-NMCA-031, ¶ 3, 297 P.3d 374. {4} Accordingly, for the reasons set forth in our notice, we affirm. {5} IT IS SO ORDERED.

LINDA M. VANZI, Judge WE CONCUR: JULIE J. VARGAS, Judge JENNIFER L. ATTREP, Judge
