Legal Issues

Disposition

  • The Court of Appeals dismissed the appeal due to the lack of a final order, as a motion for reconsideration was pending in the district court.

Reasons

  • The Court of Appeals, consisting of Judges Michael E. Vigil, M. Monica Zamora, and Henry M. Bohnhoff, decided to dismiss the appeal. The decision was based on the procedural posture of the case, specifically the existence of a pending motion for reconsideration in the district court that was filed within the appropriate time frame after the notice of appeal but had not yet been ruled upon. The appellate court noted that there was no final order from which to appeal and highlighted the inability to predict when the district court would schedule a hearing or enter a final decision on the motion for reconsideration. The appellate court suggested that the Appellants could appeal again after the district court entered a decision on the pending motion (para 1).
