CONCURRING OPINION
I concur with the court’s opinion. This record contains no genuine, material
factual disputes, and David McMackin and Boatmen’s National Mortgage Company
are entitled to a judgment as a matter of law for two complementary reasons. First,
Mr. McMackin did not owe a duty to Mr. and Ms. Zanetis; second, it was not
reasonable for Mr. and Ms. Zanetis to rely on Mr. McMackin’s statements given their
adversary posture with his client and the fact that they had retained their own
attorney.
