• PER CURIAM (David K. Thomson, Chief Justice; Michael E. Vigil, Justice; C. Shannon Bacon, Justice; Briana H. Zamora, Justice concurring):
  The Supreme Court decided to withdraw its February 1, 2022, order that held the matter in abeyance, following its decision in Padilla v. Torres, which reversed and remanded that case for a new trial. The Court concluded that the issues in the current case were addressed by its opinion in Padilla. Consequently, the Court exercised its discretion under Rule 12-405(B) NMRA to dispose of the matter by a nonprecedential order, reversing the district court and remanding the case for a new trial in line with the Padilla decision (paras 1-7).
