Description

This case has been submitted for decision by this court following its submission to an advisory committee pursuant to an experimental plan. See Patterson v. Environmental Improvement Division, 105 N.M. 320, 731 P.2d 1364 (1986); Boucher v. Foxworth-Galbraith Lumber Co., 105 N.M. 442, 733 P.2d 1325 (Ct. App. 1986) Stoll v. Dow, 105 N.M. 316, 731 P.2d 1360 (1986). The committee rendered a unanimous decision, proposing affirmance in part and dismissal in part, and the parties were no notified. Appellants opposed the proposed disposition while appellees supported it. This court began considering the record and briefs in this case, together with the opinion of the advisory committee. Before determining whether to set the case for oral argument or to adopt any or all of the opinion of the advisory committee, this court was met with a question concerning its jurisdiction. It is an appellate court's first duty to determine whether it has jurisdiction. See Rice v. Gonzales, 79 N.M. 377, 444 P.2d 288 (1968).
