Description

Plaintiff Ruth Lopez, personal representative of the estate of Dorothy Lopez, brought a medical malpractice claim against physicians and other staff employed by the University of New Mexico Hospital. Defendants moved to dismiss the first amended complaint on the grounds of improper venue, the naming of an improper party-defendant and lack of subject matter jurisdiction. The district court denied the motion. Defendants sought by interlocutory appeal to challenge the denial of the motion with regard to the first two grounds. The court of appeals affirmed as to the first issue but reversed as to the second. Upon plaintiff's petition we granted certiorari on the question of improper venue and now reverse the court of appeals on that point.
