Two levels above Municipal in the NM court order?

In New Mexico, the court system is arranged in ascending levels of authority, with Municipal Courts at the bottom handling city matters. The next level up is the Magistrate Court for county matters, and the level above that, in metropolitan areas, is the Metropolitan Court. So going two levels up from Municipal means moving to the Metropolitan Court (Municipal → Magistrate → Metropolitan). District Court would be three levels above Municipal in this ordering, and the Court of Appeals is higher still as an appellate court.
