VAN CISE, Judge,
concurring in part and dissenting in part.
I agree with all parts of the majority opinion except Part III. As to that section, I disagree with the majority both in its analysis and its holding.
The language of C.R.C.P. 68 requires the offeree to pay the offeror’s costs if “the judgment finally obtained by the offeree is not more favorable than the offer.” Here, the judgment of dismissal is a judgment less and “not more favorable than the offer.” Hence, C.R.C.P. 68 is plainly applicable to the situation at issue and, under that rule, the offeror is entitled to “the costs incurred after the making of the offer.”
