        "text": "CARMODY, Justice.\nThe state engineer raises the single question attacking the scope of review permitted in the district court upon an appeal from a denial of an application for a permit to change partial point of diversion.\nWe note that this error was not raised in the trial court, but appellee, by failing to file any brief, has not questioned the right of appellant to change his position; therefore in this situation we will consider the merits because \u201cit appears that a wrong principle of law was applied below.\u201d Ferran v. Jacquez, 1961, 68 N.M. 367, 362 P.2d 519.\nThe trial court\u2019s judgment reversing the order of the state engineer was entered approximately two months before our decision in Kelley v. Carlsbad Irrigation District, 1963, 71 N.M. 464, 379 P.2d 763. Nevertheless, additional evidence having been considered by the trial court, Kelley is controlling. We have consistently followed the Kelley case in Durand v. Carlsbad Irrigation District, 1963, 71 N.M. 479, 379 P.2d 773; McGee v. State ex rel. Reynolds, 1963, 72 N.M. 48, 380 P.2d 195; Cross v. Erickson, 1963, 72 N.M. 73, 380 P.2d 520; and Ingram v. Malone Farms, Inc., 1963, 72 N.M. 256, 382 P.2d 981.\nOn this authority, it was error to permit the introduction of new or additional evidence on appeal from the state engineer\u2019s decision. Therefore, the case must be reversed and remanded to the district court, in order that a proper review may be given.\nIt is so ordered.\nNOBLE and MOISE, JJ., concur.",
