BENCH, Judge,
concurring in result:
I wholeheartedly agree that “[djismissal of the instant case cannot be justified under Rule 25” of the Utah Rules of Criminal Procedure. Having so ruled, we need not address whether Ms. Luke could have been held in contempt of court. The discussion as to whether there was an enforceable order in place and whether the City was afforded due process is unnecessary to the resolution of this case. Although intriguing, the argument about separation of powers is also superfluous to the question of dismissal.
I therefore concur only in the result.
