The New Mexico Supreme Court has entered an order staying the Court of Appeals’ decision in Rodriguez v. Brand West Dairy, which struck down as unconstitutional a statute excluding farm and ranch employees from the workers’ compensation system. The stay will be in effect until the Supreme Court orders otherwise.
I have previously written about this case here.
Disclosure: I recently filed an amicus curiae brief in the Supreme Court, arguing for reversal, on behalf of the New Mexico Farm and Livestock Bureau.
