Disposition

Reasons

  • Per Timothy L. Garcia, J. (Michael D. Bustamante, J., Jonathan B. Sutin, J., concurring):
    The Court dismissed the appeal based on jurisdictional limitations, specifically issues related to the timeliness of the notice of appeal and the finality of the proceedings. The Defendant's belief that the district court erred did not affect the Court's jurisdictional constraints. The Court remained unpersuaded that the matter was properly before them, leading to the dismissal of the appeal (paras 1-4).
