Reasons

• Per Linda M. Vanzi, J. (Cynthia A. Fry, J., and M. Monica Zamora, J., concurring): The Court of Appeals decided to affirm the district court's dismissal of charges based on the precedent established in State v. Archuleta. The State's objection to the Court of Appeals' proposed summary disposition was noted, but the Court found no material factual distinctions that would remove the case from the control of Archuleta. The Supreme Court had denied the State a stay or other remedy that would suspend the precedential value of Archuleta, leading the Court of Appeals to apply the ruling in Archuleta to the present case (paras 1-2).
