*384Connolly, J.,
concurring in the result.
I concur in the result reached by the majority. However, I write separately to express my disagreement with what I consider to be an advisory opinion regarding the discovery of the alleged victim’s confidential medical records. The issue of the confidentiality of the alleged victim’s records was not raised in the trial court and was not briefed or argued in front of the Court of Appeals or this court. The majority took “plain notice” of the juvenile records issue. I disagree with the majority’s consideration of a “plain notice” doctrine. I am not familiar with the “plain notice” doctrine, but I do know that the confidentiality issue is neither related to any assignment of error nor germane to this decision. Since I am uncertain of the full import of this issue, I limit my concurrence.
Caporale and Wright, JJ., join in this concurrence.
