Text: ¶ 3 Seattle Police Officer Gary Lindell's personal representative brought a wrongful death action against the City under LEOFF's right to sue provision for Lindell's 2002 death. According to the complaint, Lindell died from injuries he sustained when he fell from his service horse during a 1999 training exercise for the Seattle Police Mounted Patrol Unit. The City moved for summary judgment, challenging the constitutionality of the LEOFF statute. The trial court denied the City's motion and the City appealed. A Court of Appeals commissioner denied review based on the Court of Appeals opinion in Locke and the court denied the City's motion to modify. We accepted review on the issues of sovereign immunity and privileges and immunities and consolidated the appeal with Locke.
