24 KENNEDY, Judge.

25          Defendant appeals his conviction for aggravated battery on a household
1 member. We issued a notice of proposed summary disposition proposing summary

2 reversal on a basis that the State offered insufficient evidence to establish victim was

3 a “household member” within the meaning of NMSA 1978, Section 30-3-11(A)

4 (2010). The State has responded that it does not oppose reversal of Defendant’s

5 conviction on that basis.

6        Accordingly, we reverse Defendant’s conviction.

7        IT IS SO ORDERED.
