   PER CURIAM.

For the reasons stated in the opinion by Lewis, J., the decision of the Court of Appeals is affirmed.

On 24 June 1992, this Court allowed the petition of the defendant-appellant, State Personnel Commission, for discretionary review of the additional issue as to whether the Personnel Commission is a necessary party. We now determine that discretionary review of that issue was improvidently allowed.

AFFIRMED IN PART; DISCRETIONARY REVIEW IMPROVIDENTLY ALLOWED.
