## Opinion text

SAVOIE, Judge,
concurring.
I concur with the result.
I do not agree with the majority opinion. After the initial reaction to the attack Theodore should have withdrawn from the altercation. She did not. Her failure to do so could have impaired the efficiency and orderly operation of the public service by endangering the infants in the nursery but the record is devoid of evidence that her actions did actually endanger the infants. For this reason I concur in the result.
