 1                             MEMORANDUM OPINION

 2 BUSTAMANTE, Judge.

 3        Plaintiff appeals from the district court’s denial of his motion to disqualify the

 4 judge was well as an order granting summary judgment and awarding sanctions

 5 against him. We proposed to affirm on both issues. Both Plaintiff and Defendants

 6 have timely responded to our proposal. Defendants agree with our proposal. Plaintiff

 7 recognizes that his issues implicate the district court’s wide discretion and he does not

 8 dispute our application of the law to the facts. Nevertheless, he requests that we

 9 reconsider our proposal. We decline to do so.

10        Therefore, for the reasons stated in the calendar notice, we affirm.

11        IT IS SO ORDERED.
