Reasons

• Per Timothy L. Garcia, J. (Celia Foy Castillo, Chief Judge, and Michael D. Bustamante, Judge, concurring): The Court held that the district court properly dismissed the Plaintiff-Appellant's suit for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, as required by NMSA 1978, Section 41-4-16(B) and Section 33-2-11(B), due to the Plaintiff-Appellant's failure to give the statutorily required notice and exhaust administrative remedies. The Plaintiff-Appellant's challenges related to his incarceration and non-attorney status did not alter the jurisdictional requirements. The Court also denied the Plaintiff-Appellant's motion for medical treatment, as such requests cannot be initially filed in this Court, and noted but took no action on the misfiled federal district court complaint.
