01/06/94 John O. Tingley V. Terry E. Harrison And

Appellant, John Tingley ("Tingley") appeals an order of the trial court granting motions by respondents, Terry Harrison ("Harrison") and Steven Herndon ("Herndon"), for summary judgment in a legal malpractice action. The trial court ruled as a matter of law that the statute of limitation barred the malpractice action. Tingley, who declared bankruptcy in April 1986, almost one year before the present action was filed, contends that the statute of limitation does not bar the action. Tingley asserts that the cause of action is part of the bankrupt estate, and thus subject to an alternative limitation period under the bankruptcy code that has not yet run. We affirm.
