Reasons
-
Per Michael E. Vigil, Chief Judge (Cynthia A. Fry, Judge, J. Miles Hanisee, Judge concurring): The Court of Appeals decided to affirm the district court's dismissal of the non-residential burglary charge against the Defendant, relying on the precedent set by State v. Archuleta. The State's objection to the Court of Appeals' proposed summary disposition and request for abeyance or an opportunity to seek guidance from the New Mexico Supreme Court were noted, but the Supreme Court denied the State's request, maintaining the precedential value of Archuleta. The State was unable to provide any additional facts or legal arguments to distinguish this case from Archuleta, leading the Court of Appeals to affirm the district court's decision for the reasons stated in their notice of proposed disposition (paras 1-3).
