New Mexico Supreme Court

Dominguez v. State

April 16, 20152015 NMSC 14

The New Mexico Supreme Court held that the double‑jeopardy rule announced in State v. Montoya is a procedural rule and therefore does not apply retroactively to Rodrigo Dominguez’s convictions. Accordingly, his habeas petition was denied and the trial court’s dismissal was affirmed.
