Douglas, J., not participating.

Wright, J.,

dissenting. After a careful analysis of the record and the applicable case law, I feel that this case deserves our careful and comprehensive consideration and opinion. This court repeatedly rejected discretionary review and a motion for stay of this matter (case No. 86-729) by a three to three vote, one vote abstaining. Thus, I must dissent.

Holmes, J., concurs in the foregoing dissenting opinion.
