State of New Mexico, Plaintiff-Petitioner v. Bruce Hall, Defendant-Respondent

Summary

The New Mexico Supreme Court held that an out‑of‑state sex offense is equivalent to a New Mexico registrable offense if the defendant’s actual conduct underlying the foreign conviction would have constituted one of the twelve enumerated offenses under SORNA. Applying that test, the Court found the record insufficient to determine Hall’s conduct and therefore reversed the Court of Appeals, remanding for further proceedings.
