        "text": "OPINION\nHENDLEY, Judge.\nThe defendant was charged in one count of trafficking in Percodan and Valium. At trial defendant moved to dismiss because Percodan and Valium are not listed in the statutory schedules of controlled substances. Additionally, defendant claimed that prosecution under the indictment would be based on unconstitutional legislative delegation to the Board of Pharmacy and, furthermore, that classification by the Board did not give fair notice.\nThe State' conceded the dismissal as to Valium, but appealed as to Percodan.\nWe assigned the case to the summary calendar with reversal proposed because at trial the State submitted the definition of Percodan in the Physician\u2019s Desk Reference. The principal ingredient of Percodan is oxycodone which is derived from the opium alkaloid, thebaine. That definition brings Percodan within the purview of a controlled substance under \u00a7 30-31-7(AX2), N.M.S.A. 1978. (Compare the definition in 1979 Supplement \u00a7 30-31-7(A)(2)(p).) See also State v. Yanez, 89 N.M. 397, 553 P.2d 252 (Ct.App.1976).\nThe defendant filed a memorandum in opposition requesting a different calendar setting as to two other issues in the appeal, but not as \u00a7 30-31-7(A)(2), supra. However, the two other issues need be discussed only if Percodan were not included in \u00a7 30-31-7(A)(2). Percodan is a Schedule II controlled substance as defined by the Legislature. This is dispositive of the appeal.\nThis case is reversed and remanded with instructions to reinstate the indictment.\nIT IS SO ORDERED.\nHERNANDEZ and LOPEZ, JJ., concur.",
