Orlando Regional Medical Center v. Allen
Supreme Court of Florida · Decided June 17, 1993 · Barkett, Grimes, Harding, Kogan, McDonald, Overton, Shaw
620 So. 2d 993; 18 Fla. L. Weekly Supp. 343; 1993 Fla. LEXIS 1026; 1993 WL 209147 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Orlando Regional Medical Center v. Allen

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We review Allen v. Orlando Regional Medical Center, 606 So.2d 665 (Fla. 5th DCA 1992), because of its conflict with Tanner v. Hartog, 593 So.2d 249 (Fla. 2d DCA 1992). We have jurisdiction under article V, section 3(b)(3) of the Florida Constitution.

In Tanner v. Hartog, 618 So.2d 177 (Fla. 1993), we recently quashed a portion of the second district’s Tanner decision which dealt with the issue involved in the instant case. When the interpretation we placed upon the medical malpractice statute of limitations in Tanner is applied to the facts of the instant case, it is evident that the court below correctly reversed the summary judgment entered against the Allens. Therefore, we approve the result of the decision below.

It is so ordered.

BARKETT, C.J., and OVERTON, McDonald, shaw, grimes, kogan and HARDING, JJ., concur.
