Opinion

No. 4446.

May 28, 1940.

Appeal from District Court, Bernalillo County; Thomas J. Mabry, Judge.

W.A. Keleher and Theo. E. Jones, both of Albuquerque, for appellant.

Owen B. Marron and Donald B. Moses, both of Albuquerque, for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

This is a companion case to Springer Transfer Company v. City of Albuquerque, 44 N.M. 407, 103 P.2d 129, and is an appeal from a judgment of the district court in the same suit.

The liability of the appellee depends upon whether the underpass, which was the subject of the litigation in the case of Springer Transfer Company v. City of Albuquerque, supra, was a part of a state highway. We held under the facts of that case, and likewise hold under the facts of this case, that the underpass was no part of a state highway; therefore, the appellee is not liable to damages resulting from its construction.

It follows that the judgment of the district court in dismissing as to the defendant Board of County Commissioners is correct and should be affirmed.

It is so ordered.

BICKLEY, C.J., and BRICE, ZINN, and SADLER, JJ., concur.

MABRY, J., did not participate.
