After an arrest
- Who decides release first
Before a person sees a judge, a court designee named by the chief judge, often jail or pretrial services staff, must release people eligible under the court's rule for lower-level charges, and may call a judge in unusual cases. Everyone else waits for a magistrate, Metropolitan Court, or district judge to set conditions. Courts may not use money bail schedules.
Rule 5-401(N) NMRA (approved October 31, 2025)- Time to see a judge
A court must hold a hearing and set release conditions no later than three days after arrest for a person held in the local jail, or five days if held elsewhere. A person not released at that first hearing gets another within three more days, with a lawyer.
Rule 5-401(A) NMRA (approved October 31, 2025)
