PEDERSON, Justice,
concurring in part and dissenting in part.
Summary judgment disposition of De-Lair’s claims against LaMoure County and Sheridan Township is appropriate under Article I, § 9, of the North Dakota Constitution, and for the reasons stated by Justice Sand. The Piehls, however, are individuals whose alleged negligence, it is claimed, caused DeLair’s injury. Even though De-Lair’s claim against the Piehls may seem preposterous, it should not have been disposed of summarily. See Gowin v. Hazen Memorial Hospital Ass’n, 311 N.W.2d 554 (N.D.1981).
