## Opinion text

Justice MARTIN
dissenting in part.
For the reasons set forth in my dissenting opinion in State v. Bryant (No. 290A86, filed 18 November 1986), I dissent from that part of the majority opinion holding that N.C.G.S. § 15A-1340.4 (aXlXm) applies only to damage to property causing great monetary loss and not to monetary loss resulting from personal injuries caused by a defendant during the commission of his offense.
Justices Mitchell and Browning join in this dissenting opinion.
