New Mexico Court of Appeals February 27, 2003, No. 22,442 (Martinez v. Friede)

OPINION

ALARID, Judge.

{1} This case requires us to determine the point in time at which a trial court’s jurisdiction to grant a motion for a new trial terminates. We hold on the facts of this case that the trial court’s jurisdiction terminated by operation of law thirty days after the motion for new trial was filed.
