Facts

The first order granted summary judgment to WM and MERS, and the second order denied the Appellants' motion to dismiss (para 1).

Procedural History

  • Appeal from the District Court of Bernalillo County, Nan G. Nash, District Judge: Summary judgment granted to WM Specialty Mortgage, LLC, and Third-Party Defendant Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc.; motion to dismiss by Appellants denied (para 1).

Parties' Submissions

  • Appellants (Greg and Olga Johnson): Sought to appeal from two district court orders, one granting summary judgment to WM and MERS, and the other denying their motion to dismiss (para 1).
  • Appellee (WM Specialty Mortgage, LLC): Filed an unopposed motion for extension of time to obtain a final order, which was granted. A second request for extension was also filed and granted (para 1).

Legal Issues

  • Whether the appeal should be dismissed due to the lack of a final order submitted to the Court of Appeals within the extended time frame (para 1-2).

Disposition

  • The appeal was dismissed due to the absence of a final order being submitted to the Court of Appeals within the allotted time (para 2-4).

Reasons

  • Per Michael E. Vigil, J. (James J. Wechsler, J., and J. Miles Hanisee, J., concurring): The Court of Appeals dismissed the appeal because no final order had been submitted to the Court, and the time for doing so had expired. Despite granting extensions for WM to obtain a final order, no further extension requests were made, and a final order was not filed within the extended time frame (paras 1-4).
