N.M. Stat. § 44-7A-9
Provisional remedies.
(a) Before an arbitrator is appointed and is authorized and able to act, the court,
upon motion of a party to an arbitration proceeding and for good cause shown, may
enter an order for provisional remedies to protect the effectiveness of the arbitration
proceeding to the same extent and under the same conditions as if the controversy
were the subject of a civil action.
(b) After an arbitrator is appointed and is authorized and able to act:
(1)
the arbitrator may issue such orders for provisional remedies, including
interim awards, as the arbitrator finds necessary to protect the effectiveness of the
arbitration proceeding and to promote the fair and expeditious resolution of the
controversy, to the same extent and under the same conditions as if the controversy
were the subject of a civil action; and
(2)
a party to an arbitration proceeding may move the court for a provisional
remedy only if the matter is urgent and the arbitrator is not able to act timely or the
arbitrator cannot provide an adequate remedy.
(c) A party does not waive a right of arbitration by making a motion under
Subsection (a) or (b).
