Heading: Plaintiffs failed to state claims against the Insurer Defendants under the New Mexico Price Discrimination Act

Text: Plaintiffs mention the New Mexico Price Discrimination Act (PDA), N.M. Stat. §§ 57-14-1 through 57-14-9, only in the prayers for relief included in their complaints, seeking damages under N.M. Stat. § 57-14-8(a). This claim fails as a matter of law because the prayer for relief is no part of the cause of action and. . . the parties are entitled to such relief and to such judgment as the complaint . . . makes out. Daniels v. Thomas, 225 F.2d 795, 797 & n. 5 (10th Cir.1955) (applying federal and Colorado law). Further, Plaintiffs fail to explain on appeal how the allegations in their complaints stated a claim under the PDA.
