VOIGT, Justice,
concurring in part and dissenting in part.
[122] I agree with the majority that Madsen's counterclaim, which alleged "delivery" of the notice of claim pursuant to both Wyo. Stat. Ann. § 1-89-113 and article 16, section 7 of the Wyoming Constitution, coupled with attachment of the notice of claim, showing such compliance, was sufficient to give the district court subject matter jurisdiction over the counterclaim under our existing precedent. I do not agree with the majority's suggestion, in citing Brown v. City of Casper, 2011 WY 35, 248 P.3d 1136 (Wyo.2011), that the mere filing of a complaint or counterclaim alleging a claim against a governmental entity gives the district court subject matter jurisdiction over that claim. Id. at 1 58, at 1150 (Voigt, J., dissenting).
