Martinez 19 Albuquerque, NM 20 for Appellant 21 MEMORANDUM OPINION 22 SUTIN, Judge. 1 Defendant appealed the district court’s entry of a conditional discharge and 2 unsupervised probation following Defendant’s appeal of her conviction in magistrate 3 court of resisting, evading, or obstructing an officer in violation of NMSA 1978, 4 Section 30-22-1 (1981). On appeal, Defendant argued that the district court 5 improperly accepted a plea from her without complying with the protections afforded 6 by Rule 5-303(F) NMRA. This Court issued a calendar notice proposing to reverse. 7 The State has filed a memorandum in response to this Court’s notice of proposed 8 summary disposition, stating that it does not oppose reversal on the grounds stated in 9 the calendar notice. This Court therefore reverses the district court for the reasons set 10 out in our notice of proposed disposition. 11 IT IS SO ORDERED. 12 __________________________________ 13 JONATHAN B.
