The judeg in my case didn't wait for the ruling from the appeals court on my stay of execution, he had a hearing with the opposite counsel and ruled to have the writ reinstated despite the fact I was never notified about the hearing, I made an appeal to the appeals court to allow me the introduction of my interogatories, that my attorney never filed, should I file a motion to replace the judge, or wait for the appeals court to rule?
Hi Mauro, that sounds like a complicated situation. In New Mexico, you can file a motion to recuse or disqualify a judge if you believe there's bias or a conflict of interest. However, it might be wise to wait for the appeals court's decision on your current appeal first. Could you provide more details about the appeals court's timeline?
I fied month ago, and I just filed an emergency motion for the stay for the writ of execution, the jude never brought up the enforcement of the discovery rules during the process, and he granted the summary judgement to the opposite party, in my absence he granted the writ nof execution without me being at the hearing
Hi Mauro, it sounds like you might have grounds for concern. Here are a few points to consider:
- In New Mexico, parties should be notified of all hearings.
- Judges must enforce discovery rules fairly.
- Summary judgments should not be granted without giving both parties an opportunity to present.
You might want to consult with a lawyer about filing a motion to replace the judge. Have you received any updates from the appeals court regarding your emergency motion?

No yet, i'm anxiously waiting for their response, how ling doies usually ntakes for the appeals court to respond?
The response time for an appeals court can vary, but it typically ranges from a few weeks to several months. Given the urgency of your situation, it may be beneficial to follow up with the appeals court or consult with your attorney for further guidance. Have you considered reaching out for an update on your emergency motion?
I'm pro se in this case,
Considering you are representing yourself, here are a few steps you might consider:
- Follow up with the appeals court regarding your emergency motion.
- File a motion to reconsider the summary judgment if it was granted without proper notice.
- Consider filing a motion to recuse the judge if you believe there has been bias or unfair treatment.
Is there any specific part of your case where you need further clarification?

Should I file a motion to replace the judge before I file a motion to reconsider to vacate the summary judgement?
It's generally advisable to wait for the appeals court's decision on your emergency motion before filing additional motions. However, you could file a motion to reconsider the summary judgment now, highlighting the lack of notice and unfair treatment. If the appeals court's decision is delayed, you might then consider filing a motion to replace the judge. Do you have a specific deadline for filing these motions?
So as long as I had filed the emergengy motrion to reconsider the writ of execution, the opposite counsel cannot do anything right?
Hi Mauro, filing the emergency motion does not automatically stop the opposing counsel from taking action. You might want to request a stay of execution explicitly to halt any enforcement actions. Have you requested a stay of execution along with your emergency motion?
Not yet! any sugestions?
It's important to request a stay of execution specifically to halt any actions by the opposing counsel. Here are your next steps:
