OPINION
PICKARD, Judge.
Defendant appeals his conviction for trafficking cocaine. He contends that (1) there was not substantial evidence to support his conviction, (2) his trial should have been severed from his codefendant’s, and (3) the prosecutor impermissibly commented on his postarrest silence. Because we reverse and remand for a new trial on the issue of comment on silence, we also address the claim of insufficiency of the evidence. See State v. Santillanes, 109 N.M. 781, 790 P.2d 1062 (Ct.App.1990) (court addresses substantial evidence issue because that would afford greater relief).
