The opinion
WERDEGAR, J., Concurring.
I concur in the majority opinion, with the exception of footnote 11 on pages 214—215. Because the issue addressed there is not before the court, and the majority’s comments are unnecessary to the resolution of the case, I would await a future case specifically posing that issue.
