Universal Citation: 22 NM Admin Code 22.600.1.11

Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 18, September 24, 2024

A. Unless otherwise expressly authorized by statute, only the person challenging the action or a bona fide employee if the party is an entity or business, or an attorney licensed or authorized to practice law in New Mexico may represent the person at hearing. In tax protest hearings, any person expressly authorized by statute to represent a taxpayer in a tax protest proceeding may represent the taxpayer before the administrative hearings office. Any attorney not licensed to practice law in New Mexico must comply with applicable New Mexico supreme court pro hac vice rules in order to represent the person, business, or entity at any substantive hearing in the matter.

B. Any attorney wishing to represent a party must file a formal written entry of appearance directly with the administrative hearings office listing his or her mailing address, a fax number (if any), and a valid email address. Any attorney wishing to substitute in for a previous attorney must file a substitution of counsel containing the same information required in the initial entry of appearance. Upon withdrawal of representation, consistent with the rules of professional conduct, the attorney shall give reasonable notice of the date and time of the scheduled hearing to the party and allow time for the party to retain other counsel, if needed. Prior to the hearing, counsel should file a written notice of withdrawal from representation with the administrative hearings office indicating when counsel notified the driver of the date and time of the license revocation hearing.

C. A hearing officer may deny a request for withdrawal of representation only when withdrawal would have a clear, materially adverse effect on the party's interests and impede the conduct of a full, fair, and efficient hearing.
