State v. Burckhard , 1998 N.D. LEXIS 122 ( 1998 )

VANDE WALLE, Chief Justice,

concurring specially.

[¶ 41] Insofar as the opinion written by Justice Sandstrom and the opinion written by Justice Meschke view Bishop Sullivan’s letter differently, I believe this matter should be remanded to clarify the Bishop’s position as to the question of the authority of Father Burckhard to spend the money. To this limited extent, I agree with the remand ordered in Justice Sandstrom’s opinion. If the Bishop’s response is as Justice Meschke construes the current response, I would concur in Justice Meschke’s opinion.

[¶ 42] Gerald W. Vande Walle, C.J.
