## Opinion text

MACY, Justice,
dissenting.
I dissent. No one should be immune from civil liability for intentionally committing a criminal act, especially a public official who has taken an oath to uphold the constitution and the laws of the State of Wyoming. I agree with and adopt the reasoning articulated in the closing remarks of Justice Urbigkit’s dissenting opinion.
