Reasons
Per Chief Justice Patricio M. Serna (Justices Joseph F. Baca, Gene E. Franchini, Pamela B. Minzner, and Petra Jimenez Maes concurring):
The Court reconsidered its earlier denial of the petition for writ of certiorari after the petitioners filed a motion for rehearing with a supporting memorandum. Upon review, the Court found sufficient grounds to grant the petition and issue a writ of certiorari to the New Mexico Court of Appeals. The Court also indicated that a subsequent order would outline the specific issues for review and provide instructions for the briefing schedule.
