Gilchrist v. Veach2/12/2002
y 27, 1997. Unfortunately, Gilchrist did not attempt to comply with the statutory requirements until January 26, 1998. On this date, Gilchrist had a letter hand-delivered to Dr. Veach and Mr. Wiman, as well as filing her initial complaint against Dr. Frenz. Unfortunately, according to the aforementioned statute, this letter was untimely and would not serve to toll the statute of limitations. Therefore, the amended complaint which was filed by Gilchrist on February 6, 1998, which named Dr. Veach as a defendant was untimely and barred by the statute of limitations.
. THE JUDGMENT OF THE CIRCUIT COURT OF RANKIN COUNTY IS AFFIRMED. ALL COSTS OF THIS APPEAL ARE ASSESSED TO THE APPELLANT.
McMILLIN, C.J., KING AND SOUTHWICK, P.JJ., THOMAS, IRVING, MYERS, CHANDLER AND BRANTLEY, JJ., CONCUR. BRIDGES, J., NOT PARTICIPATING.
