New Mexico Court of Appeals April 14, 2000, 20,300 (State v. Cooper)

OPINION

BOSSON, Judge.

{1} Defendant appeals her conviction for battery upon a peace officer, NMSA 1978, § 30-22-24 (1971). Defendant contends her conviction should be reversed for four reasons: (1) the trial court refused to instruct the jury that her challenge to the officer’s authority had to be “meaningful,” pursuant to State v. Padilla, 1997-NMSC-022, ¶ 7, 123 N.M. 216, 937 P.
