17                                 MEMORANDUM OPINION

18 VIGIL, Judge.
 1   {1}   The State appeals the district court’s order suppressing statements made by

 2 Defendant during a custodial police interview. In our notice of proposed summary

 3 disposition, we proposed to affirm. The State has filed a memorandum in opposition,

 4 which we have duly considered. As we are not persuaded by the State’s arguments,

 5 we affirm.

 6   {2}   In our notice of proposed summary disposition, we proposed to hold that

 7 Defendant unequivocally invoked both her right to counsel and her right to remain

 8 silent. See State v. Salazar, 1997-NMSC-044, ¶ 60, 123 N.M. 778, 945 P.2d 996

 9 (reciting that police interrogation “must cease” when an accused invokes either right).

10 The unequivocal invocation of either right would be sufficient to support the district

11 court’s suppression order in this case. Id.

12   {3}   In its memorandum in opposition, the State continues to argue that Defendant’s

13 invocation of her rights to counsel and to remain silent were equivocal or ambiguous

14 to such a degree that the custodial interview did not need to end. See State v. Castillo-

15 Sanchez, 1999-NMCA-085, ¶ 16, 127 N.M. 540, 984 P.2d 787 (noting that a

16 defendant’s equivocal request for counsel does not require that officers halt

17 questioning). That memorandum does not, however, provide any new facts or

18 authorities that persuade us that our proposed summary disposition was in error. “Our

19 courts have repeatedly held that, in summary calendar cases, the burden is on the party


                                                 2
 1 opposing the proposed disposition to clearly point out errors in fact or law.” Hennessy

 2 v. Duryea, 1998-NMCA-036, ¶ 24, 124 N.M. 754, 955 P.2d 683; see also State v.

 3 Mondragon, 1988-NMCA-027, ¶ 10, 107 N.M. 421, 759 P.2d 1003 (stating that a

 4 party responding to a summary calendar notice must come forward and specifically

 5 point out errors of law and fact, and the repetition of earlier arguments does not fulfill

 6 this requirement). The State has not met that burden. Thus, for the reasons stated here

 7 and in our notice of proposed summary disposition, we affirm the district court’s

 8 suppression order.

 9   {4}   IT IS SO ORDERED.
