Description

This opinion involves the question of proper venue and jurisdiction of two causes of action arising out of a two-car collision in Bernalillo County. Irby Ballenger, the driver and sole occupant of one car, filed suit on May 24, 1977, in Bernalillo County against Theodore Hall, the driver of the other car, and the unnamed personal representative of Victor Chavez, the owner and a passenger in the car driven by Hall. Jimmy Barela and Gladys Lance were also passengers in the car driven by Hall. On June 10, Lucia Valdez was named personal representative of the Chavez estate and filed suit in Torrance County against Ballenger. Hall and the personal representatives of Lance and Barela joined in the Torrance action against Ballenger. Ballenger subsequently amended his complaint in Bernalillo County substituting Valdez as the representative of the Chavez estate. On August 1, the judge in Torrance County orally enjoined Ballenger from proceeding in Bernalillo County and on August 24, the Bernalillo County judge enjoined Hall and Valdez from proceeding in Torrance County. Both parties appealed to the Court of Appeals which ordered the trial court in Torrance County to abate the action and rescind its injunction. Hall, Valdez, Lance and Barela sought a writ of certiorari which we granted. We agree with the result reached by the Court of Appeals.
