The abbreviation N.M. Stat. Ann. denotes statutes from which state?

Recognizing jurisdiction abbreviations in Bluebook citations. N.M. Stat. Ann. designates the state statutes edition for New Mexico. The two-letter abbreviation N.M. is the standard shorthand for New Mexico in legal citations, and Stat. Ann. means Statutes Annotated, the edition that includes editorial notes and annotations. So this citation points to New Mexico’s statutes, not to New York, Nevada, or Nebraska. For reference, a specimen citation might look like N.M. Stat. Ann. § 30-1-1.
