Written by the judges who cited it.

The opinion

PITTMAN, Judge,

concurring in part and concurring in the result.

I concur in that portion of the main opinion concluding that the mandamus petition should be granted insofar as the plaintiffs seek an award of attorney fees and costs, and I concur in the result.
