¶1OPINION
¶2This matter has come before us on remand of the case from the United States Supreme Court, 416 U.S. 918, 94 S.Ct. 1915, 40 L.Ed.2d 276. Our original opinion was based on § 3-8-26, subd. A, N.M.S.A.1953 (Repl. Vol. 1, 1970). This statute was repealed by the New Mexico State Legislature, Laws of 1973, chapter 228, § 11, thereby rendering the question moot.
¶3Therefore, the judgment of this Court entered herein on April 17, 1972, is hereby vacated and this cause is dismissed.
