BROOKS, Judge,
dissenting,
I dissent for the reasons stated in my dissent in a companion case, Burkons v. Ticor Title Ins., 165 Ariz. 299, 798 P.2d 1308.
As the trial court aptly stated, the Manleys are asking to expand upon the duties placed on an escrow agent by our supreme court in Berry v. McLeod, 124 Ariz. 346, *326604 P.2d 610 (1979). Neither the trial court nor this court has such authority.
I would affirm the judgment of the trial court.
ORDER
Appellee Ticor’s motion for Reconsideration and Appellants Manleys’ response thereto were considered by the court with Judge Melvyn T. Shelley presiding and Judges Sarah D. Grant and J. Thomas Brooks, participating.
IT IS ORDERED denying appellee Ti-cor’s motion for reconsideration. Judge Brooks, in accordance with his dissenting opinion, would grant the motion for reconsideration.
The court also considered appellant Manleys’ motion to clarify the opinion and appellee Ticor’s response thereto.
IT IS ORDERED granting the appellants’ motion to clarify the opinion.
FURTHER ORDERED correcting this opinion as follows:
line 16 on page 18 reads:
“Judgment for Ticor is affirmed on the breach of escrow contract allegation that Ticor allowed proceeds of the Tower loan to be used for purposes other than construction.”
The word “affirmed” should read “reversed”. Therefore the sentence is corrected to read: 
“Judgment for Ticor is reversed on the breach of escrow contract allegation that Ticor allowed proceeds of the Tower loan to be used for purposes other than construction.”
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the clerk of this court shall correct the opinion heretofore filed accordingly.
FURTHER ORDERED appellant Manleys’ motion for reconsideration on the issue of attorney’s fees is Denied..
