21 MEMORANDUM OPINION

22 KENNEDY, Judge.

23 This Court issued a calendar notice proposing to dismiss for lack of a final

24 order. There, we noted that “[g]enerally, an order or judgment is not final unless all
3

1 issues of law and fact have been determined and the case disposed of by the trial court

2 to the fullest extent possible.” [CN 3 (citing Kelly Inn No. 102, Inc. v. Kapnison, 113

3 N.M. 231, 236, 824 P.2d 1033, 1038 (1992).] We also noted that, based on our review

4 of the record proper, it appeared the following claims remained unresolved: (1) John

5 and Virginia Campbell’s (Campbell) claims against Kevin and Rheanel Breshears

6 (Breshears); (2) Campbell’s claims against Paul Legler; (3) Ag New Mexico’s

7 cross-claim against Paul Legler; (4) Ag New Mexico’s third-party claim against

8 Gretchen Legler; and (5) Ag New Mexico’s third-party claim against Curtis and Mary

9 Breshears. [CN 5-6] 

10 Breshears has filed a memorandum in response to this Court’s notice of

11 proposed disposition. Breshears states that (1) “[f]inal judgment has been entered on

12 all matters between . . . Breshears and Ag New Mexico[;]” and (2) “it is . . . Breshears’

13 understanding that the above matters have been resolved, that they are no longer being

14 pursued, and that no further action is expected to be taken on the matters by any of the

15 parties involved.” [MIO 2] As this Court pointed out in its notice of proposed

16 disposition, Rule 1-054(B)(2) NMRA governs when a judgment is final in an action

17 involving multiple parties. [CN 3] Rule 1-054(B)(2) provides that, “[w]hen multiple

18 parties are involved, judgment may be entered adjudicating all issues as to one or

19 more, but fewer than all parties.” In the present case, there are outstanding claims
4

1 involving Breshears and outstanding claims involving Ag New Mexico, thus, there

2 has not been a judgment entered adjudicating all issues as to either of the parties on

3 appeal. To the extent Breshears argues that “[f]inal judgment has been entered on all

4 matters between . . . Breshears and Ag New Mexico,” Breshears has not provided any

5 authority demonstrating that an order resolving all claims between two parties, where

6 those parties are still involved in other claims with other parties, is a final judgment

7 for purposes of appeal. See ITT Educ. Servs., Inc. v. Taxation & Revenue Dep’t,

8 1998-NMCA-078, ¶ 10, 125 N.M. 244, 959 P.2d 969 (stating that this Court will not

9 consider propositions that are unsupported by citation to authority); In re Adoption of

10 Doe, 100 N.M. 764, 765, 676 P.2d 1329, 1330 (1984) (stating that where a party cites

11 no authority to support an argument, we may assume no such authority exists).

12 Accordingly, we conclude that the district court’s order granting Ag New Mexico an

13 in rem judgment against Breshears is not a final order pursuant to Rule 1-054(B)(2).

14 To the extent Breshears asserts that an understanding that these remaining

15 matters have been resolved, Breshears does not direct this Court to any document in

16 the record that indicates these claims have been dismissed, settled, or otherwise

17 resolved by a judgment of the district court. See Santa Fe Exploration Co. v. Oil

18 Conservation Comm’n, 114 N.M. 103, 108, 835 P.2d 819, 824 (1992) (providing that

19 where a party fails to cite any portion of the record to support its factual allegations,
5

1 the Court need not consider its argument on appeal); Hennessy v. Duryea,

2 1998-NMCA-036, ¶ 24, 124 N.M. 754, 955 P.2d 683 (“Our courts have repeatedly

3 that, in summary calendar cases, the burden is on the party opposing the proposed

4 disposition to clearly point out errors in fact or law.”). We conclude that Breshears’

5 representation that none of the parties intends to pursue the remaining claims is wholly

6 insufficient to render the judgment final in this matter where the record does not

7 reflect that the claims have been dismissed or otherwise resolved by the district court.

8 Accordingly, for the reasons stated above and in this Court’s notice of proposed

9 disposition, we dismiss.

10 IT IS SO ORDERED.
