Per Chief Justice Patricio M. Serna (Justices Joseph F. Baca, Gene E. Franchini, Pamela B. Minzner, and Petra Jimenez Maes concurring):
The Court determined that the petition for writ of certiorari should be granted on issue numbered one (1) raised by the Defendant-Petitioner. The Court ordered the parties to file updated briefs consolidating prior submissions made to the New Mexico Court of Appeals and to comment on the memorandum opinion issued by the Court of Appeals on December 7, 2000. The Court also specified deadlines for the filing of briefs and decided that no oral argument would be heard, with the matter to be submitted upon the filing of all briefs. (headnotes)
