LEVINE, Justice,
specially concurring.
The district court held that there is no crime of actual physical control when the accused is found to have committed the alleged offense on private property. I agree with the district court’s interpretation and with its conclusion that section 39-08-01, NDCC, does not apply to private property not accessible to the public, but a majority of this court does not. Wiederholt v. Department of Transportation, 462 N.W.2d 445 (N.D.1990).
I see no purpose in continuing to espouse my minority view and will henceforth meekly join ranks with the majority.
