## Opinion text

ROGERS, Associate Judge,
concurring:
I join the majority in affirming the dismissal of Ray’s complaint against the District of Columbia for alleged negligence in medical treatment provided pursuant to statutory requirement. On the record before us, Ray has failed to demonstrate that the trial court erred in concluding that Ray’s injuries arose in the course of his employment or that the dual capacity rule is applicable.
