OPINION
WALTERS, Judge.
The majority of a panel of the Court of Appeals (Walters, J., dissenting) previously held in this case that § 41-4-12 of the Tort Claims Act, N.M.S.A. 1978, prohibited recovery by injured jail inmates against negligent city law enforcement officers. The Supreme Court reversed, declaring that the governmental entity and its law enforcement officers, the city jailers, were not immune from suit for personal or bodily injury caused by the jailers’ negligence. The cause was remanded to this Court for determination of other issues raised by the City in its appeal.
