18 MEMORANDUM OPINION
19 CASTILLO, Judge.
20 Defendants appeal from the trial court’s order awarding Plaintiffs their attorney
1 fees pursuant to Rule 1-011 NMRA. We issued a notice proposing to affirm, and
2 Plaintiffs filed a timely memorandum in support. Defendants failed to file a response
3 to our notice of proposed summary disposition. See Frick v. Veazey, 116 N.M. 246,
4 247, 861 P.2d 287, 288 (Ct. App. 1993) (noting that “[f]ailure to file a memorandum
5 in opposition constitutes acceptance of the disposition proposed in the calendar
6 notice”). Therefore, for the reasons set forth in our notice of proposed summary
7 disposition, we affirm the trial court’s order awarding Plaintiffs their attorney fees
8 pursuant to Rule 1-011. Frick, 116 N.M. at 247, 861 P.2d at 288
9 IT IS SO ORDERED.
