Disposition

Reasons

• The Court, consisting of Judges Linda M. Vanzi, Michael D. Bustamante, and Jonathan B. Sutin, unanimously decided to dismiss the appeal. Initially, the Court proposed to dismiss the appeal due to the lack of a final order, as the district court had not ruled on the Plaintiff's motion for reconsideration. The Plaintiff did not oppose this proposal. Upon rehearing, the Plaintiff concurred with the dismissal for the reasons stated in the calendar notice. The Defendant's argument that the district court order should be considered final due to the automatic denial of the motion for reconsideration was rejected by the Court, citing Rosales v. N.M. Taxation & Revenue Dep’t, which clarified that the automatic denial provision no longer applies in any civil case (paras 1-3).
