Description
EASLEY, Chief Justice. Aguilar was convicted of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon (a firearm). The trial court ruled that the mandatory incarceration provision of the firearm enhancement statute, Section 31-18-16, N.M.S.A 1978 (Cum. Supp. 1980), is unconstitutional as a violation of the doctrine of separation of powers. The trial court then sentenced Aguilar to one year enhanced by the additional one year mandated by the enhancement statute, suspended the entire sentence, and placed Aguilar on probation. The State appealed the sentence. The Court of Appeals dismissed the appeal on the ground that the State had no right to an appeal in these circumstances and should have petitioned this Court for extraordinary relief. We granted certiorari and reverse the Court of Appeals and reinstate the appeal.
