17                                 MEMORANDUM OPINION

18 HANISEE, Judge.

19   {1}    Defendant appeals his conviction for one count of unlawful taking of a motor

20 vehicle. [RP 131, 137, 140] In Defendant’s docketing statement, he argued, pursuant
 1 to State v. Franklin, 1967-NMSC-151, 78 N.M. 127, 428 P.2d 982 and State v. Boyer,

 2 1985-NMCA-029, 103 N.M. 655, 712 P.2d 1, that there was insufficient evidence to

 3 support his conviction. In this Court’s notice of proposed summary disposition, we

 4 proposed to affirm. In response to this Court’s notice, Defendant has filed a

 5 memorandum in opposition, which we have duly considered. Because we do not find

 6 it persuasive, we affirm.

 7   {2}   In Defendant’s memorandum in opposition, he continues to make the same

 8 arguments raised in his docketing statement. “Our courts have repeatedly held that,

 9 in summary calendar cases, the burden is on the party opposing the proposed

10 disposition to clearly point out errors in fact or law.” Hennessy v. Duryea,

11 1998-NMCA-036, ¶ 24, 124 N.M. 754, 955 P.2d 683. Defendant’s memorandum

12 provides no facts or authority that this Court has not already considered or that

13 persuade this Court that its proposed summary disposition should not be made.

14   {3}   Accordingly, for the reasons stated here and in our notice of proposed summary

15 disposition, we affirm.

16   {4}   IT IS SO ORDERED.
