18                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

19 CASTILLO, Judge.

20       Plaintiffs filed an appeal in which they argue the district court erred by
 1 dismissing their case under Rule 1-041(E)(1) NMRA because they engaged in timely

 2 action in pursuit of their claims prior to the filing of Defendants’ motion to dismiss.

 3 This Court issued a calendar notice assigning this case to the summary calendar and

 4 proposing summary reversal on January 13, 2008. Defendants have filed a response

 5 to our calendar notice and state they will not submit a memorandum in opposition to

 6 our proposed summary reversal.

 7        Accordingly, the district court’s dismissal is reversed for the reasons stated in

 8 our calendar notice.

 9        IT IS SO ORDERED.

10                                              ________________________________
