## Opinion text

GIVAN, Justice,
concurring in result on civil petition to transfer.
I concur in the result of the majority opinion; however, I cannot agree with the holding in the majority opinion that governmental immunity did not apply to the Sheriff{'s Department. The Court of Appeals opinion reported at 601 N.E.2d 419 correctly handles this question of law.
I would deny transfer in this case.
