Deborah BRANSFORD-WAKEFIELD, Petitioner-Appellant, v. STATE OF NEW MEXICO TAXATION AND REVENUE DEPARTMENT MOTOR VEHICLE DIVISION, Respondent-Appellee.

Court of Appeals of New Mexico.

September 27, 2011.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

David Henderson , Santa Fe, NM, for Appellant.

Gary K. King , Attorney General, Julia Belles , Special Assistant Attorney General, Santa Fe, NM, for Appellee.


OPINION

VANZI, Judge.

{1} In this case, we must decide whether to excuse the late filing of a petition for a writ of certiorari. Because we conclude that the attorney's unspecified illness in this case is not an unusual circumstance that would warrant waiving the timeliness requirement that is a mandatory precondition to the exercise of this Court's jurisdiction, we deny the petition as untimely.
