A quick definition of memdispo:

Memdispo is a short way of saying memorandum opinion, which is a written statement by a court explaining its decision in a case. It includes the facts, points of law, and reasoning behind the decision. Sometimes, a court may also give an advisory opinion, which is a nonbinding statement about the law on a specific matter. Other types of opinions include dissenting opinions, which are written by judges who disagree with the majority decision, and majority opinions, which are joined by more than half of the judges considering a case.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Memdispo is a slang term for memorandum opinion, which is a written statement by a court explaining its decision in a case. It includes the facts, points of law, rationale, and dicta.

Example: A court issues a memdispo when it wants to briefly report its decision without elaboration because the decision follows a well-established legal principle or does not relate to any point of law.

Explanation: A memdispo is a type of opinion that is used when the court's decision is straightforward and does not require a lengthy explanation. It is a unanimous appellate opinion that succinctly states the decision of the court. The term "memdispo" is slang and is not commonly used in legal writing.
