The plaintiff-appellee, Albert Waugh, filed a proposed complaint for medical malpractice with the Department of Insurance, naming Lafayette Home Hospital, Inc. as the sole defendant. Ten days later, the statute of limitations ran on Waughs cause of action. Twenty-six days later, Waugh filed an amended proposed complaint, seeking to make the defendant-appellant, Dr. B. T. Conard, M.D., a defendant in addition to the hospital.[Footnote 1] Pursuant to statute, Dr. Conard invoked the jurisdiction of the Tippecanoe Superior Court, requesting a preliminary determination that Waughs action against him was barred by the statute of limitations. This request was in the form of a motion for summary judgment, which Waugh opposed by arguing that, at a minimum, there existed a genuine issue of material fact as to whether the amended proposed complaint related back to the filing of the original proposed complaint under Ind. Rules of Procedure, Trial Rule 15(C). The court agreed that a factual issue regarding relation back existed and denied Dr. Conards motion for summary judgment pursuant to Trial Rule 56(C). The court certified its order overruling Dr. Conards motion, see Appellate Rule 4(B)(6), and this court accepted the interlocutory appeal. We reverse.
