Reasons

  • Justices Judith K. Nakamura, Barbara J. Vigil, Michael E. Vigil, C. Shannon Bacon, and David K. Thomson unanimously concluded that under the facts before them, a decision or formal opinion of the Court would not materially advance the state law. The Court found that the issues appealed were not ripe for review because the final order did not resolve the dispute and reserved the issue for future interpretation. Consequently, any decision rendered on this matter would be advisory in nature, which the Court avoids (paras 1-3).
