Description
Garrett Quintana filed suit to quiet title in a road that provides access to his property. The road traverses property owned and possessed by defendants. The trial court entered a decree in favor of Quintana declaring the road to be a New Mexico public highway established under federal law. Defendants filed notice of appeal, but did not move to stay the trial court's decree. Relying upon NMSA 1978, Section 39-3-9 (Repl. Pamp. 1991) (supersedeas bond requirements in actions involving real or personal property), Quintana filed a motion in the trial court to compel defendants to post a supersedeas bond to assure payment of any damages occasioned by the appeal. Quintana attached an affidavit to the motion detailing the prejudice he would suffer as a consequence of the appeal. The trial court denied the motion, and the court of appeals affirmed.
