The New Mexico Supreme Court held that the Court of Appeals has appellate jurisdiction to review district‑court decisions on on‑record appeals from metropolitan‑court criminal convictions and that a party aggrieved by such a district‑court decision has a statutory right to appeal to the Court of Appeals. The Court affirmed the Court of Appeals and quashed certiorari on other issues.
