## Opinion text

HIGGINS, Judge,
concurring.
I agree with the principal opinion in its concession that Missouri v. Hunter, 459 U.S. 359 , 103 S.Ct. 673 , 74 L.Ed.2d 535 (1983), “does not control” this case. The Hunter discussion is thus extraneous, and I look to that part of the opinion that cites and applies Illinois v. Vitale, 447 U.S. 410 , 100 S.Ct. 2260 , 65 L.Ed.2d 228 (1980), and Brown v. Ohio, 432 U.S. 161 , 97 S.Ct. 2221 , 53 L.Ed.2d 187 (1977), to support its judgment.
I agree that Vitale and Brown are dis-positive of the limited issue in this case; and for that reason, I concur.
