Supreme Court denies petition SANTA FE — The New Mexico Supreme Court says it will not intervene on behalf of public defenders who say they are over- whelmed by cases from poor defendants. Court officials on Wednesday confirmed the Supreme Court’s unanimous denial of a petition for relief from the state’s chief public defender. The Law Offices of the Public Defender has said its attorneys in various parts of the state are wrongfully being forced to take on more cases than they can handle without neglecting indigent defendants who cannot oth- erwise afford an attorney. State and local prosecutors insist the concerns are overblown, and a district judge has rejected attempts by defense attorneys to refuse new cases in south- eastern New Mexico. Regulators move on energy proposal ALBUQUQUERQUE — A New Mexico regulatory panel has narrowly cleared the way for more discussion on a proposed clean energy standard supporters say would protect utility cus- tomers and shareholders from the costs of future envi- ronmental regulations. The Public Regulation Commission voted 3-2 Wednesday to host work- shops in Santa Fe next week. Commissioner Patrick Lyons argued that the meet- ings should be held in north- western New Mexico, where electric utilities are looking to retire their coal assets. The area is bracing for the partial closure of the San Juan Generating Station later this year. Lyons says the economic effects on the region should be part of the discussion.

As Houston prepares for its first league championship series since 2005, Altuve’s teammates and coaches say what’s better than his gaudy numbers is his approach: No matter how great his stats are, he always believes he can do better. “He has four hits and he’s like: ‘Carlos I never had a five-hit game before, let me try to get the fifth hit,”’ star shortstop Carlos Correa said. “He’s always striving for more. And that’s what I’ve learned from him that makes me better every, single day.” Altuve isn’t sure why he’s always had that mindset. It could stem from years ago when many doubted that someone who is only 5-foot-6 could make it in the majors. But he won’t admit that now. “That’s the way I am,” he said when asked about his drive. “I just want to keep getting bet- ter ... if I can get better to keep helping my team I am going to be happy to do it.” Altuve is one of the longest-tenured players on this team and among a handful who were around for the really bleak times when the Astros lost 100 or more games in three straight sea- sons from 2011-13. He was a major reason the Astros returned to the postseason after a 10- year absence in 2015. But he didn’t have a great performance in those playoffs when he bat- ted just .154 without an extra-base hit as Houston was eliminated by eventual champion Kansas City in the ALDS. Things have been much different this time around with Altuve carrying his big hitting in the regular season into the playoffs with eight hits in the ALDS . He starred in Houston’s Game 1 win over Boston when he became just the 10th player in major league history and first since 2012 to hit three homers in a playoff game. Babe Ruth did it twice. It was that game that helped give him a whopping 1.765 on base-plus- slugging percentage this postseason.
