14 BUSTAMANTE, Judge.

15         McElvain Oil & Gas Properties, Inc. (McElvain) seeks to appeal from an order

16 granting co-Defendant United Drilling, Inc.’s (United’s) motion for summary

17 judgment, together with a stipulated order dismissing all of Plaintiffs’ claims against

18 United. We filed a notice of proposed summary disposition on February 13, 2012,

19 proposing to dismiss for want of a final, appealable order. On March 1, 2012,

20 memoranda in support were filed by United and Plaintiffs. No memorandum in

21 opposition has been filed, and the time for doing so has passed.

                                              2
1        Accordingly, for the reasons set forth in the notice of proposed summary

2 disposition, this appeal is dismissed.

3        IT IS SO ORDERED.
