New Mexico Supreme Court

State v. Crocco

June 5, 20142014 NMSC 16

Summary

The New Mexico Supreme Court held that Gregg Crocco lacked standing to challenge the warrantless entry into a third‑party’s house because he failed to show he was an authorized guest, and therefore he did not make a prima facie claim of ineffective assistance of counsel; the Court reversed the Court of Appeals and affirmed the district court judgment.
