The district court in this diversity case dismissed appellant's cause of action on the *439 basis that Arkansas’ two-year statute of limitations applied to all actions based on medical injuries. Appellant had characterized her action as one for wrongful death resulting from medical injuries; wrongful death actions generally have a three-year limitations period.

Two weeks after the district court’s opinion, the Arkansas Supreme Court held that when a medical injury results in death, the longer limitations period set forth in the Arkansas wrongful death statute controls. Brown v. St. Paul Mercury Insurance Co., 292 Ark. 558, 732 S.W.2d 130 (1987). Consequently, we remand the case to the district court for further consideration in light of this decision.
