21                                 MEMORANDUM OPINION
 1 VANZI, Judge.

 2        Defendants/Appellants, Robert M. Van Rooyen and Lisa P. Marston-Van

 3 Rooyen, appeal from the district court’s order denying Defendants’ emergency motion

 4 to vacate default judgment and special master sale (“motion to vacate”). [DS 2, 5, RP

 5 323] We issued a notice on January 7, 2013, proposing to summarily affirm.

 6 Defendants had twenty days from the date of service of this notice to serve and file a

 7 memorandum in opposition. Rule 12-210(D)(3) NMRA. Defendants have failed to

 8 file either a memorandum in opposition to our proposed summary disposition or a

 9 request for an extension of time. On January 28, 2013, Plaintiff/Appellee, Deutsche

10 Bank Trust Company Americas, filed a memorandum in support of our proposed

11 summary disposition. We have previously held that “[f]ailure to file a memorandum

12 in opposition constitutes acceptance of the disposition proposed in the calendar

13 notice.” Frick v. Veazey, 116 N.M. 246, 247, 861 P.2d 287, 288 (Ct. App. 1993).

14 Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s denial of Defendants’ motion to vacate.

15        IT IS SO ORDERED.
