New Mexico Order Setting Aside Judgment and Granting Dismissal
Understanding this form
The Order Setting Aside Judgment and Granting Dismissal is a legal document used to request the court to invalidate a previously entered foreclosure judgment. This form is particularly relevant when parties have reached an agreement that resolves the underlying issues, such as through a loan modification. It differs from other foreclosure-related forms by focusing specifically on the dismissal of the foreclosure case and the setting aside of the judgment due to agreed resolution between the parties involved.
Form components explained

- Order actions: Specifies what judgments are being set aside and what claims are being dismissed.
- Consent: Indicates that the parties consent to the motion, reinforcing the agreement made between them.
- Finality clause: Clarifies that the dismissal does not prevent future enforcement of the mortgage or note if new defaults occur.
When to use this document
You should use this form when a default judgment for foreclosure has been entered, but you have since resolved the underlying issues (for example, by entering into a loan modification agreement with the lender). It is applicable when both parties agree to dismiss the case, allowing for the setting aside of the prior judgment without prejudice to future actions if necessary.
