No. 30,329 10 MANUEL MUNOZ, 11 Defendant-Appellant. 12 APPEAL FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF LEA COUNTY 13 Gary L. Clingman, District Judge 14 Gary K. King, Attorney General 15 Santa Fe, NM 16 for Appellee 17 Hugh W. Dangler, Chief Public Defender 18 Karl Erich Martell, Assistant Appellate Defender 19 Santa Fe, NM 20 for Appellant 21 MEMORANDUM OPINION 22 SUTIN, Judge. 1 Defendant appeals the revocation of his probation, arguing that there was 2 insufficient evidence to support the revocation. We proposed to affirm in a notice of 3 proposed summary disposition. Defendant timely responded to our proposal with a 4 memorandum in opposition, as well as a motion to amend the docketing statement. 5 We have considered his arguments and not being persuaded, we affirm. 6 In his motion to amend the docketing statement, Defendant seeks to raise as an 7 issue on appeal that the district court’s written sentence did not conform to the oral 8 pronouncement of the district court. We deny the motion to amend as the issue is not 9 viable. State v. Moore,109 N.M. 119
, 129,782 P.2d 91
, 101 (Ct. App. 1989) 10 (defining a viable issue as an argument that is colorable or arguable), superseded by 11 rule as stated in State v. Salgado,112 N.M. 537
,817 P.2d 730
(Ct. App. 1991). Even 12 assuming that the district court said something different at the sentencing hearing than 13 was written, our case law is clear that until a judgment is in writing, it is not a final, 14 enforceable judgment. See State v. Diaz,100 N.M. 524
, 525,673 P.2d 501
, 502 15 (1983) (holding that a court is free to change an orally pronounced sentence until a 16 written judgment is filed). 17 In our notice, we proposed to hold that the evidence was sufficient to support 18 the revocation of Defendant’s probation. Defendant acknowledges the evidence that 19 we set forth in the calendar notice, but points out that he had reasonable explanations 2 1 for all of that evidence. [MIO 4-5] As we pointed out in our calendar notice, 2 however, this simply presented conflicting evidence, which was for the district court 3 to resolve. In re Ernesto M. Jr.,1996-NMCA-039
, ¶ 15,121 N.M. 562
,915 P.2d 318
. 4 This Court does not reweigh the evidence or make credibility determinations. We 5 view the evidence that was presented to determine whether a reasonable fact finder 6 could determine that Defendant had violated the terms of his probation. See State v. 7 Martinez,108 N.M. 604
, 606,775 P.2d 1321
, 1323 (Ct. App. 1989) (stating the 8 standard of review for a probation violation). 9 For the reasons stated herein and in the notice of proposed disposition, we 10 affirm. 11 IT IS SO ORDERED. 12 __________________________________ 13 JONATHAN B.
