*The New Mexico trial occurred in two phases. The first phase established liability and was a jury trial. The trial’s second phase addressed (1) the scope of appropriate injunctive relief, specifically safety improvement changes, necessary to address Meta’s statutory violations (as found during the first phase); (2) whether Meta’s actions contributed to a “public nuisance” and (3) if so, the amount Meta must pay to abate that nuisance. A ruling has not yet been made in the second phase bench trial.
