## Opinion text

REIF, Judge, specially
concurring.
I concur without reservation in the holding and rationale of the majority decision. I do feel constrained to add that I do not intend my concurrence to reflect any legitimacy to this particular lawsuit or others like it. That is to say, I do not intend to leave the impression that this may have been an otherwise meritorious suit which simply met an unfortunate demise due to the statute of limitations. It is patently frivolous in its conception and premises. Suits such as this have become a plague to the orderly administration of government institutions. They present vexation and harassment of government officials, as well as drain already strained legal, financial, and personnel resources.
I will not lend the prestige of this court to aid, encourage, and tolerate such suits.
