Disposition

  • The Court of Appeals of New Mexico reversed the decision of the District Court of Bernalillo County and remanded for dismissal.

Reasons

  • Bustamante, J. (Wechsler, J., and Fry, J., concurring): The decision was based on the companion case, Nellis v. Farmers Insurance Company of Arizona, which had an identical factual background. The slight differences in procedural posture between the two cases were deemed not to materially affect the legal analysis or the outcome. Consequently, the opinion in the Farmers case controlled the outcome here, leading to a reversal and remand for dismissal.
