## Opinion text

Weaver, J. *
(concurring in the result) — I am discomforted, chagrined, and mortified by the language of the dissent that describes the majority opinion as “a legal pygmy of doubtful origin” that “may be short-lived” done in a “cavalier manner.”
On the other hand, there are certain subsidiary conclusions in the majority opinion that I do not believe necessary to the opinion and with which I do not agree. They are not, however, sufficient to deter me from my final conclusion: As I view and understand the record, petitioners have not established their case.
The petition herein for writs of mandate and prohibition should be denied; therefore, I concur in the result of the majority opinion.
Justice Weaver is serving as a justice pro tempore of the Supreme Court pursuant to Const, art. 4, § 2(a) (amendment 38).
