Facts

Procedural History

  • District Court of Bernalillo County, Carl J. Butkus, District Judge: Affirmed the metropolitan court’s order of dismissal.

Parties' Submissions

  • Plaintiff-Appellant: Contended that the trial court erred by refusing to admit two documents under exceptions to the hearsay rule and requested more money from the matter, arguing that the law was not applied correctly.
  • Defendant-Appellee: [Not applicable or not found]

Legal Issues

  • Whether the trial court erred by refusing to admit two documents under exceptions to the hearsay rule.

Disposition

  • The appeal was affirmed, maintaining the district court's affirmation of the metropolitan court's order of dismissal.

Reasons

  • Per VANZI, J. (VARGAS, J., and ATTREP, J., concurring): The Court considered the Plaintiff's memorandum in opposition but found it unpersuasive, as it did not assert any new facts, law, or argument beyond a request for more money and a contention that the law was not applied correctly. The Court's decision to affirm was based on the Plaintiff's failure to specifically point out errors of law and fact, as required when responding to a summary calendar notice. The Court adopted the district court’s recitation of the facts, applicable law, reasoning, and result, affirming the dismissal order for the reasons set forth in their notice (paras 1-4).
