6 IN THE COURT OF APPEALS OF THE STATE OF NEW MEXICO STATE OF NEW MEXICO, 8 Plaintiff-Appellee, v. NO. 30,262 JASMINE LOPEZ, 11 Defendant-Appellant.

12 APPEAL FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF DOÑA ANA COUNTY Stephen Bridgforth, District Judge Gary K. King, Attorney General Santa Fe, NM for Appellee Hugh W. Dangler, Chief Public Defender Eleanor Brogan, Assistant Appellate Defender Santa Fe, NM for Appellant 21 MEMORANDUM OPINION FRY, Chief Judge.

23 Defendant appeals the denial of her motion to withdraw her no contest plea. In our notice, we proposed to affirm the district court’s ruling. Defendant has timely responded. We have considered her arguments and not being persuaded, we affirm.

1 In our notice, we pointed out that this Court reviews the denial of a motion to withdraw a plea for an abuse of discretion. State v. Hunter, 2006-NMSC-043, ¶ 11, 140 N.M. 406, 143 P.3d 168. An abuse of discretion in such a context is described as “when [the district court] is shown to have acted unfairly, arbitrarily, or committed manifest error.” Id. (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). Manifest error occurs when the undisputed facts establish that the plea was not knowingly and voluntarily given. Id. We proposed to find that the undisputed facts indicated that Defendant’s plea was knowingly and voluntarily given.

9 Defendant argued below and continues to argue here that the motion to withdraw should have been reviewed for a “fair and just reason” rather than manifest injustice. See Rule 5-304 NMRA (Committee Comment.). As we pointed out in our notice, however, the Supreme Court in Hunter has apparently rejected that standard.

13 We decline to apply a different standard than the one stated in Hunter. See Alexander v. Delgado, 84 N.M. 717, 718, 507 P.2d 778, 779 (1973) (recognizing that we are limited in our ability to overrule precedent of our Supreme Court).

16 CONCLUSION 17 For the reasons stated herein and in the calendar notice, we affirm the denial of Defendant’s motion to withdraw her plea.

19 IT IS SO ORDERED.
