New Mexico Statutes Chapter 42. Actions and Proceedings Relating to Property § 42-9-14. Amending attachment and replevin writs; alias and pluries writs; proceeding in conversion when replevin writ not executed

That where an original writ of attachment or replevin has been quashed for defect in the affidavit, bond or writ, the court shall allow an amendment thereof to cure the defect, under such circumstances as amendments of ordinary pleadings are allowed by law and with like effect; and alias and pluries writs of attachment or replevin shall be issued in the following cases:

Alias and pluries writs of attachment shall not be issued except upon a new affidavit and bond laying the foundation therefor the same as required of original writs; but alias and pluries writs of replevin may be issued upon the foundation laid by the original affidavit, bond to be given to the officer serving the writ as in cases of original writs of replevin.

Where the goods and chattels sought to be seized by a proceeding in replevin are not found, the action shall not abate, but may proceed as for conversion upon the facts set out in the complaint as originally stated, or as the same may be amended.
