17                                 MEMORANDUM OPINION

18 ZAMORA, Judge.

19   {1}    Petitioner seeks to appeal from the district court’s order granting trial judgment

20 in favor of Respondent and another unnamed order, both filed on November 13, 2013.

21 [RP 460-66] Petitioner filed a timely post-judgment motion, pursuant to Rule 1-
 1 052(D) NMRA, asking “the court to make findings of fact and conclusions of law and

 2 to amend the trial judgment.” [RP 494-97] Petitioner also filed notices of appeal from

 3 the district court’s orders. [RP 502-03, 505-06]

 4   {2}   We issued a notice of proposed summary disposition, proposing to dismiss on

 5 grounds that the motion could alter, amend, or moot the district court’s final orders;

 6 and thus, the orders are no longer final for purposes of appeal. See Rule 12-201(D)(1)

 7 NMRA (stating that “[i]f any party timely files a motion under Section 39-1-1 NMSA

 8 1978, . . . Rule 1-052(D) NMRA, or Rule 1-059 NMRA, . . . the full time prescribed

 9 in this rule for the filing of the notice of appeal shall commence to run and be

10 computed from the filing of an order expressly disposing of the . . . motion.”);

11 Grygorwicz v. Trujillo, 2009-NMSC-009, ¶ 8, 145 N.M. 650, 203 P.3d 865 (holding

12 that “when a party makes a motion challenging the district court’s determination of

13 the rights of the parties contained in the [final order, the order is no longer] final, and

14 the time for filing an appeal does not begin to run, until the district court disposes of

15 the motion”).

16   {3}   Respondent and Petitioner have filed responses to our notice, agreeing that the

17 orders are not final for purposes of appeal, in light of Petitioner’s post-judgment

18 motion. [Ct. App. file] We continue to believe that Petitioner’s post-judgment motion

19 renders the district court’s orders non-final and renders Petitioner’s appeal premature.


                                                2
1 See Dickens v. Laurel Healthcare, LLC, 2009-NMCA-122, ¶ 6, 147 N.M. 303, 222

2 P.3d 675 (observing that “when a Rule 1-059(E) motion, or other motion that

3 challenges the district court’s determination of the rights of the parties, is pending in

4 the district court, the judgment or order entered by the district court remains

5 non-final” such that appeal is premature). We, therefore, dismiss Petitioner’s appeal

6 for lack of a final, appealable order and remand for further proceedings. See id. ¶¶ 6-7.

7   {4}   IT IS SO ORDERED.
