The New Mexico Supreme Court issued one opinion from April 10-16. As of April 16, the court issued 11 opinions in 2023 — three more than this point a year ago. The opinion is below:
- Indigenous Lifeways v. N.M. Compilation Comm’n Advisory Comm., where the court found that “Petitioners [had] not shown that the 2020 ballot measure proposing to amend the constitutional provisions governing the PRC (Public Regulation Commission) violated the logrolling prohibition in Article XIX, Section 1.” The court, therefore, denied the petition for writ of mandamus.
From April 10-16, state supreme courts issued 91 opinions nationally. The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals and the North Dakota Supreme Court issued the most with nine. State supreme courts in 26 states issued the fewest with zero. Courts where judges are elected have issued 48 opinions, while courts whose members are appointed have issued 43.
