N.M. 2nd Jud. Dist. Objection To Hearing Officer Recommendation Procedure

PROCEDURE FOR FILING A MOTION

AND REQUEST FOR HEARING

1. Prepare a Motion, Request for Hearing, and Notice of Hearing. Prepare an original set of

documents plus three (3) sets of copies of each form. Sort the documents according to tit1e and staple

each one separately. The originals of each form should be placed on top of its copies and then paper

clipped together. For example: Place the Original Motion on top with the stapled copies underneath, and

paperclip them together. Repeat the procedure for the Request for Hearing and Notice of Hearing.

2. Prepare three (3) stamped and addressed legal sized envelopes. Two (2) envelopes should be

stamped and addressed to the opposing party (or his/her Attorney) and one (1) envelope addressed to you.

Note: If the opposing party is not represented by an attorney and you do not have a home address, it is

acceptable to use their work address or their parent's address.

NOTE: If the case is pending, a filing fee of $137.00 is not required. Local Court Rules require a

completed SCRA, Rule 1-099 Certificate attached as the last page to your motion. This form shows the

Court the status of the case.

3. A filing fee of $137.00 is required if the case has been closed for more than ninety (90) days and

you want to request a hearing. When you are ready to file your documents, submit $137.00, if

applicable, (in the form of cash, a money order, or cashier's check made payable to District Court Clerk)

with your original documents, copies and envelopes to the Clerk’s Office, Room 240 (second floor), of

the Bernalillo County Courthouse, located at 400 Lomas Blvd. NW, Albuquerque, NM between the

hours of 8:00 A.M. - 5:00 P.M., Monday - Friday. Personal checks and credit cards are not accepted.

4. The Clerk will file the Original documents, endorse stamp your copies, and will return two (2)

sets to you. One set of copies is for your records and the other set is for the opposing party or his/her

Attorney. Send endorsed copies of the motion and request for hearing in one of the envelopes you

addressed to the opposing party (or his/her attorney). It is your responsibility to inform the opposing party

you have requested a hearing and what it is concerning.

5. The assigned judge's secretary will send a scheduled Notice of Hearing to all parties in the

envelopes provided by you. This notice will inform you of the hearing date and time.
