concurring-in-part-and-dissenting-in-part opinion

Lundberg Stratton, J.,

concurring in part and dissenting in part. I would also reverse the judgment of the court of appeals. However, I would not grant Gay relief. The commission has not yet determined the extent of claimant’s psychological claim, so Gay relief is inappropriate. The matter should be returned to the commission to conduct such an analysis. Gay relief is premature. Therefore, I dissent from the majority’s decision to grant Gay relief.

dissent opinion

Cook, J.,

dissenting. I respectfully dissent. I would affirm the judgment of the court of appeals for the reasons stated in the court of appeals’ opinion and the decision of its magistrate.
