OPINION
RANSOM, Justice.
We issued our writ of certiorari to review an unpublished memorandum opinion of the Court of Appeals pursuant to NMSA 1978, Section 34-5-14CB) (Repl.Pamp.1991). 115 N.M. 409, 852 P.2d 682. Affirming the ruling of the Court of Appeals that an order granting a new criminal trial based on newly-discovered evidence was immediately appeal-able by the State, we reaffirm State v. Chavez, 98 N.M. 682, 652 P.2d 232 (1982) [Chavez I ], but we overrule State v. Chavez, 101 N.M. 136, 679 P.2d 804 (1984) [Chavez II], and we limit an immediate appeal to issues of law.
