Facts

• Plaintiffs appealed from the district court's order denying a motion for reconsideration of the district court’s order on Plaintiff’s motion for supplemental injunctive relief. The appeal was based on concerns regarding the precedential value of a recent decision by the same court in a different case, which plaintiffs believed could affect their case. Plaintiffs requested the appeal be held in abeyance pending a decision on a petition for writ of certiorari filed by Defendants in the New Mexico Supreme Court related to the mentioned decision.

Procedural History

• [Not applicable or not found]

Parties' Submissions

• Plaintiffs-Appellants: Requested the appeal be held in abeyance, opposing the petition for writ of certiorari filed by Defendants in the New Mexico Supreme Court, concerned about the precedential value of the court's opinion in Rodriguez v. Brand West Dairy affecting their case (para 1).
• Defendants-Appellees: Filed a petition for writ of certiorari in the New Mexico Supreme Court related to the court's decision in Rodriguez v. Brand West Dairy, which is opposed by Plaintiffs (para 1).

Legal Issues

• Whether the appeal should be held in abeyance pending the decision on a petition for writ of certiorari filed by Defendants in the New Mexico Supreme Court.

Disposition

• The case was dismissed as moot (para 2).

Reasons

• M. Monica Zamora, with Roderick T. Kennedy and Timothy L. Garcia concurring, decided not to hold the case in abeyance as requested by Plaintiffs. The court clarified that neither the filing of a petition for writ of certiorari nor an order granting the petition affects the precedential value of the Court of Appeals' opinions, as per Rule 12-405(C) NMRA. Consequently, the court found no reason to delay the case and dismissed it as moot, based on the reasons stated in their notice (paras 1-2).
