Reasons

Per Castillo J. (Wechsler and Robles JJ. concurring): The Court of Appeals issued a notice of proposed summary disposition, suggesting that the Defendant's appeal was premature. The Defendant did not file a memorandum in opposition to this notice within the required timeframe. Instead, the Defendant submitted a letter indicating its intent not to pursue the appeal but failed to file a voluntary dismissal agreement as required under Rule 12-401(B) NMRA. Consequently, the Court dismissed the appeal for the reasons outlined in its notice of proposed summary disposition. (headnotes)
