BENCH, Judge
(concurring in result):
I would decide this case based on the absence of a “special duty” owed to this particular plaintiff by these defendants. See, *1168e.g., Ferree v. State, 784 P.2d 149, 151 (Utah 1989); Cannon v. University of Utah, 866 P.2d 586, 588-89 (Utah App.1993), cert. denied, 879 P.2d 266 (Utah 1994); Lamarr v. Utah State Dep’t of Transp., 828 P.2d 535, 538 (Utah App.1992). I would therefore not reach any of the issues raised under the affirmative defense of governmental immunity. See Day v. State, 882 P.2d 1150, 1160 (Utah App.1994) (Bench, J., concurring).
