This "implication" argument, however, does not persuade the court in this context. See id., at 10 (citing Hershey v. State of Illinois, 43 Ill.Ct.Cl. 108 (Ill.Ct.Cl. 1990); Estill v. Alabama State Tenure Comm'n, 650 So.2d 890 (Ala.Civ.App. 1994); and Pfeifle v. Tanabe, 620 N.W.2d 167 (N.D. 2000)). F D's reliance on Weymouth in this context is misplaced.
