computations under Rule 155. Resolution of especially complex

litigants who have already settled their cases in the last 120
days (for Rule 260 motions) and the last year (for Rule 261
motions) to return to us seeking the same windfall that the Smith
Estate gathers up today.
Because there is no reason to let this happen, I
respectfully dissent.
HAINES, GOEKE, WHERRY, and KROUPA, JJ., agree with this
dissenting opinion.
