        "text": "OPINION\nWOOD, Chief Judge.\nThe issue is the subject matter jurisdiction of the Court of Appeals.\nDurand, an employee of the Commission on Alcoholism, was dismissed by the Commission. The State Personnel Board sustained the dismissal. Durand filed a notice of appeal seeking judicial review of the Final Order of the State Personnel Board. He relied on \u00a7 4 \u2014 32-16(F), N.M.S.A.1953 (Repl.Vol. 2, pt. 1).\nBy order, this Court dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction because neither the Personnel Board nor the Alcoholism Commission had been placed under the Administrative Procedures Act, of which \u00a7 4-32-16(F) is a part. Westland Corporation v. Commissioner of Revenue, 83 N.M. 29, 487 P.2d 1099 (Ct.App.1971); Mayer v. Public Employees Retirement Board, 81 N.M. 64, 463 P.2d 40 (Ct.App.1970); see Linton v. Farmington Municipal Schools, 86 N.M. 748, 527 P.2d 789 (1974).\nDurand has moved for reconsideration of our order of dismissal. Durand points out that the Personnel Act makes no reference to how appeals from the Personnel Board are to be effected. We agree. Sections 5-4 \u2014 28 through 5^4-46, N.M.S.A.1953 (Repl.Vol. 2, pt. 1) do not provide for judicial review.\nDurand contends that the Court of Appeals has subject matter jurisdiction under the Rules of Appellate Procedure for Civil Cases. He relies on Rule 13. That rule deals with the procedure for taking an appeal from the decision of an administrative agency. Rule 13 does not confer a right to appeal because the right of appeal is a matter of substantive law and outside the Supreme Court\u2019s rule making power. State v. Arnold, 51 N.M. 311, 183 P.2d 845 (1947). Rule 1 recognizes this limitation when it states: \u201cThese rules shall not be construed to extend or limit the jurisdiction of the appellate courts as established by law.\u201d\nIt has not been provided by law for this Court to- review the decision of the Personnel Board or the Alcoholism Commission. See \u00a7 16-7-8(F), N.M.S.A.1953 (Repl.Vol. 4).\nDurand is not without a judicial remedy. The remedy for review of the administrative actions in this case was by a writ of certiorari from the district court. Roberson v. Board of Education of City of Santa Fe, 78 N.M. 297, 430 P.2d 868 (1967); Riddle v. Board of Education, 78 N.M. 631, 435 P.2d 1013 (Ct.App.1967); see N.M.Const. Art. VI, \u00a7 13; State ex rel. Bd. of Com\u2019rs. of State Bar v. Kiker, 33 N.M. 6, 261 P. 816 (1927).\nThe appeal is dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.\nIT IS SO ORDERED.\nSUTIN and LOPEZ, JJ., concur.",
