Beall, Pelton, O'Brien & Brown, Daniel J. O'Brien, Albuquerque, for third-party defendants-appellees.


OPINION

SOSA, Senior Justice.

This appeal arises from a summary judgment granted the third-party defendant, Donald W. Timberman (Timberman), under NMSA 1978, Section 37-1-27 against the third-party plaintiff, the City of Socorro (Socorro). We affirm.

The sole question on appeal is whether a gas line replacement and relocation constitutes a "physical improvement to real property" within the meaning of NMSA 1978, Section 37-1-27.
