 7 STATE OF NEW MEXICO,

22                                 MEMORANDUM OPINION

23 VIGIL, Judge.
 1          Defendant appeals his conviction for criminal damage to property over

 2 $1,000 in violation of NMSA 1978, § 30-15-1 (1963), conspiracy to commit

 3 criminal damage to property over $1,000 in violation of § 30-15-1 and NMSA

 4 1978, § 30-28-2 (1979), and larceny over $250 in violation of NMSA 1978, § 30-

 5 16-1 (2006). This Court initially rejected Defendant’s docketing statement, and

 6 Defendant filed an amended docketing statement. Based on Defendant’s amended

 7 docketing statement, we issued a calendar notice proposing to affirm Defendant’s

 8 convictions, but to remand for correction of Defendant’s sentence. Defendant has

 9 filed a memorandum in opposition to this Court’s proposed affirmance, and has

10 moved this Court to amend his docketing statement. The State has filed a

11 memorandum in support of this Court’s proposed summary affirmance and remand

12 for correction of Defendant’s sentence.

13          In his motion to amend the docketing statement, Defendant seeks to add a

14 speedy trial issue and a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel. Having given

15 due consideration to Defendant’s motion to amend the docketing statement, we

16 deny Defendant’s motion and proceed with summary affirmance. We further

17 remand this matter for correction of Defendant’s judgment and sentence by the trial

18 court.

19 DISCUSSION

                                              2
 1 I.     Suppression

 2        In this Court’s calendar notice, we addressed Defendant’s pro se habeas

 3 corpus motion which trial counsel characterized as a motion to suppress. We noted

 4 that no constitutional issues had been identified that would require suppression.

 5 We further noted this Court’s confusion as to what statements or evidence

 6 Defendant was arguing should have been suppressed. Based on Defendant’s

 7 memorandum in opposition, it appears that Defendant is arguing pursuant to State

 8 v. Franklin, 78 N.M. 127, 428 P.2d 982 (1967), and State v. Boyer, 103 N.M. 655,

 9 712 P.2d 1 (Ct. App. 1985), that the statements of his co-conspirators should have

10 been suppressed because they implicated Defendant, but not another person

11 Defendant alleges was involved, and because Defendant’s co-conspirators had an

12 opportunity to discuss their stories before giving their statements. Defendant does

13 not, however, provide any authority for this argument. An appellate court will not

14 consider an issue if no authority is cited in support of the issue. In re Adoption of

15 Doe, 100 N.M. 764, 765, 676 P.2d 1329, 1330 (1984). Accordingly, we do not

16 address Defendant’s argument.

17 II.    Substantial Evidence

18        Defendant continues to argue, pursuant to Franklin and Boyer, that there was

19 insufficient evidence to support his convictions due to a lack of evidence

                                              3
 1 concerning the value of the property and value of the damage. Defendant contends

 2 that expert testimony was required. In this Court’s calendar notice, we pointed out

 3 that unless there was something unique about the property that required expert

 4 testimony, the testimony of the property owner was sufficient to establish value.

 5 See Whitley v. State, 36 N.M. 248, 249, 13 P.2d 423, 423 (1932) (“Unless the

 6 property in question is of such a nature that only expert testimony is competent,

 7 non-experts with the requisite knowledge may testify as to its market value.”

 8 (internal quotation marks and citation omitted)); see also State v. Phillips, 83 N.M.

 9 5, 8, 487 P.2d 915, 918 (Ct. App. 1971) (affirming a larceny conviction which was

10 based on the owner’s testimony as to the value of her property). Defendant

11 continues to assert that expert testimony was required. “A party opposing

12 summary disposition is required to come forward and specifically point out errors

13 in fact and/or law.” State v. Ibarra, 116 N.M. 486, 489, 864 P.2d 302, 305 (Ct.

14 App. 1993). To the extent, Defendant also asserts that the property owner was

15 required to have receipts to corroborate his testimony regarding the value of the

16 property, Defendant has not provided any authority to demonstrate that receipts are

17 required. [MIO 4] See In re Adoption of Doe, 100 N.M. at 765, 676 P.2d at 1330.

18 We therefore affirm with respect to this issue.

19 III.   Motion to Amend

                                             4
 1        Defendant filed a motion to amend his docketing statement. The essential

 2 requirements to show good cause for our allowance of an amendment to an

 3 appellant’s docketing statement are: (1) that the motion be timely, (2) that the new

 4 issue sought to be raised was either (a) properly preserved below or (b) allowed to

 5 be raised for the first time on appeal, and (3) the issues raised are viable. See State

 6 v. Moore, 109 N.M. 119, 129, 782 P.2d 91, 101 (Ct. App. 1989), overruled on

 7 other grounds by State v. Salgado, 112 N.M. 537, 817 P.2d 730 (Ct. App. 1991).

 8 We deny Defendant’s motion to amend his docketing statement, as the issues he

 9 raises are not viable.

10        Defendant moves this Court to amend his docketing statement to raise the

11 following issues: (1) a violation of his right to speedy trial, (2) ineffective

12 assistance of counsel, and (3) that the district court erred by refusing to grant

13 Defendant’s pro se motion to have new counsel appointed. On the issue of

14 Defendant’s right to speedy trial, Defendant contends that his right to speedy trial

15 was violated because trial commenced over six months after his arrest. [MIO 6]

16 Defendant states that this was a simple case. [MIO 6] Defendant filed his motion

17 for speedy trial on July 22, 2008. [RP 57] We apply State v. Garza, 2009-NMSC-

18 038, ¶ 50, 146 N.M. 499, 212 P.3d 387, to motions for speedy trial filed after

19 August 13, 2007. See State v. Lopez, 2009-NMCA-127, ¶ 21, __ P.3d __, __ N.M.

                                               5
 1 __. Garza provides that a delay in a simple case is not presumptively prejudicial

 2 unless it is at least twelve months. 2009-NMSC-038, ¶ 2. Defendant’s speedy trial

 3 claim is therefore not viable.

 4        To the extent Defendant wishes to raise an ineffective assistance of counsel

 5 claim, we conclude that Defendant has failed to raise a prima facie case of

 6 ineffective assistance. “When an ineffective assistance claim is first raised on

 7 direct appeal, we evaluate the facts that are part of the record. If facts necessary to

 8 a full determination are not part of the record, an ineffective assistance claim is

 9 more properly brought through a habeas corpus petition, although an appellate

10 court may remand a case for an evidentiary hearing if the defendant makes a prima

11 facie case of ineffective assistance.” State v. Roybal, 2002-NMSC-027, ¶ 19, 132

12 N.M. 657, 54 P.3d 61 (citing State v. Swavola, 114 N.M. 472, 475, 840 P.2d 1238,

13 1241 (Ct. App. 1992)). “To establish a prima facie case of ineffective assistance of

14 counsel, Defendant must show that (1) counsel’s performance was deficient in that

15 it ‘fell below an objective standard of reasonableness’; and (2) that Defendant

16 suffered prejudice in that there is ‘a reasonable probability that, but for counsel’s

17 unprofessional errors, the result of the proceeding would have been different.’”

18 State v. Aker, 2005-NMCA-063, ¶ 34, 137 N.M. 561, 113 P.3d 384 (quoting Lytle

19 v. Jordan, 2001-NMSC-016, ¶¶ 26-27, 130 N.M. 198, 22 P.3d 666).

                                              6
 1        Here, Defendant contends that his trial counsel was ineffective for waiving

 2 his rights to a prompt trial under Rule 5-604 NMRA, failing to advise Defendant

 3 regarding the elements of his crimes, failing to advise Defendant regarding his

 4 legal defenses, failing to hire an expert to rebut the alleged value of the property

 5 damage, and failing to subpoena exculpatory witnesses. [MIO 6] To the extent

 6 that Defendant challenges tactical decisions made by his trial counsel, this Court

 7 will not “second guess the trial strategy and tactics of the defense counsel.” Lytle,

 8 2001-NMSC-016, ¶ 43 (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). Moreover,

 9 Defendant does not demonstrate how the failure to subpoena exculpatory witnesses

10 or hire an expert was prejudicial, as Defendant has not informed this Court what

11 testimony these witnesses would have provided. See State v. Baca, 1997-NMSC-

12 045, ¶ 20, 124 N.M. 55, 946 P.2d 1066 (stating that whether a defendant was

13 prejudiced depends on whether “the allegedly incompetent representation

14 prejudiced the case such that but for counsel’s error, there is a reasonable

15 probability that the result of the conviction proceeding would have been

16 different”), overruled on other grounds by State v. Belanger, 2009-NMSC-025, ¶

17 36, 146 N.M. 357, 210 P.3d 783. Furthermore, to the extent Defendant contends

18 that his trial counsel failed to advise him of the charges and legal defenses, and to

19 the extent Defendant contends that trial counsel waived Rule 5-604 without

                                              7
 1 consulting Defendant, these matters are not of record. These matters are therefore

 2 more appropriately raised in a post-conviction proceeding. See State v. Grogan,

 3 2007-NMSC-039, ¶ 9, 142 N.M. 107, 163 P.3d 494 (expressing a preference for

 4 habeas corpus proceedings to address ineffective assistance of counsel claims).

 5        Finally, to the extent Defendant moves to amend his docketing statement to

 6 include his argument that the trial court erred by not granting his motion to have

 7 new counsel appointed, Defendant has not cited any authority in support of his

 8 argument that would demonstrate this issue is viable. Consequently, we deny

 9 Defendant’s motion to amend his docketing statement to include the foregoing

10 issues.

11 IV.    Correction of Judgment and Sentence

12        The judgment and sentence entered by the district court does not conform to

13 the verdict entered by the jury. The jury was instructed and convicted Defendant

14 of larceny under Section 30-16-1(B), for stealing property of “some value” which

15 is a petty misdemeanor. The judgment and sentence, however, appears to enter a

16 sentence under Section 30-16-1(C), which is a larceny over $250 and is a

17 misdemeanor.

18        In our calendar notice, we proposed remanding this case to the district court

19 for correction of the judgment and sentence, and the State does not object.

                                             8
1 CONCLUSION

2       For the reasons stated above, we deny Defendant’s motion to amend his

3 docketing statement and affirm his convictions. We further remand this matter to

4 the




                                          9
1 district court for correction of Defendant’s judgment and sentence.

2       IT IS SO ORDERED.
