## Opinion text

SULLIVAN, J.,
dissents. I would deny the writ. The district attorney’s failure to notify the appropriate authorities of his rejection of charges against defendant is an administrative function not entitled to absolute immunity.
COOKS, J., dissents in 98-812 for the reasons assigned by SULLIVAN, J.
