Samora, 2013- NMSC-038, ¶ 22, 307 P.3d 328 (holding that the defendant was not entitled to a mistrial when the witness’s remark was not a deliberate violation of a pretrial order and “was therefore inadvertent and curable by a limiting instruction”). {9} Neither party addressed this general rule in their briefing.
