## How later opinions describe it (automated extraction)

- holding that state agency and board members sued in official capacities would be entitled to absolute immunity unless claims fell under § 41-22-10
- declining to address petitioners’ argument-that they were entitled to a writ of-mandamus on the ground that the plaintiffs’ claims had no merit

## Opinion text

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.
