2023See State v. Samora, 2016-NMSC-031, ¶ 11 , 387 P.3d 230 (“[A]ppropriate delay, justified for a valid reason, such as a missing witness, is neutral and does not weigh against the [s]tate.” (internal quotation marks and citation omitted)). {7} The period from June 4, 2019 to July 24, 2019, also weighs neutrally because after a pretrial motion hearing, the parties and the court agreed it was too late in the day to begin the jury trial.

2023See State v. Baca, 1997- NMSC-059, ¶ 25, 124 N.M. 333 , 950 P.2d 776 . {6} Here, Defendant’s specific claim is that trial counsel should have filed a pretrial motion to challenge the search warrant. [MIO 7] However, Defendant concedes that this was a strategic decision by trial counsel, who apparently thought that filing such a motion would negatively impact his trial strategy. [MIO 8] As noted above, strategic decisions by trial counsel do not amount to a showing of ineffective assistance.

2011The State claims that Defendant failed to preserve the joinder issue at the trial court level because Defendant did not invoke a ruling that the “joinder of charges was an abuse of prosecutorial discretion or an act incompatible with the prosecutors’ duty to seek justice.” Therefore the State argues that the only issue on appeal is Defendant’s motion to sever claim. {28} In Gammill, the Court of Appeals concluded that the defendant waived his improper joinder claim because he failed to raise the issue at the pretrial motion hearing. 102 N.M. at 654 , 699 P.2d at 127 .
