16 for Appellant

17                                 MEMORANDUM OPINION

18 VANZI, Judge.
 1   {1}   Defendant has appealed from the revocation of his probation. We previously

 2 issued a notice of proposed summary disposition in which we proposed to uphold the

 3 district court’s decision. Defendant has filed a memorandum in opposition, which we

 4 have duly considered. Because we remain unpersuaded by Defendant’s assertions of

 5 error, we affirm.

 6   {2}   Defendant has raised a single issue, challenging the district court’s

 7 determination that he is not entitled to good time credit on the probation that he was

 8 serving concurrently with in-house parole. In the notice of proposed summary

 9 disposition we opined that this Court’s recent decision in State v. Ortiz, ___-NMCA-

10 ___, ___ P.3d ___ (No. 31,049, Nov. 13, 2014), provides clear and direct support for

11 the district court’s decision.

12   {3}   In the memorandum in opposition Defendant concedes that Ortiz is on point.

13 [MIO 4] However, we understand Defendant to take the position that Ortiz was

14 wrongly decided. [MIO 4-9] To the extent that Defendant invites the Court to

15 reconsider or overturn Ortiz, we decline to do so.

16   {4}   Accordingly, for the foregoing reasons, as well as the reasons set forth in the

17 notice of proposed summary disposition, we affirm.

18   {5}   IT IS SO ORDERED.

                                              2
