Written by the judges who cited it.
The opinion
Robert L. Brown, Justice, dissenting. I continue in my belief that- Ruffins v. ER Arkansas, P.A., 313 Ark. 175 , 853 S.W.2d 877 (1993), did not decide the statute-of-limitations question at issue in the instant case. That issue was not squarely addressed by this court until Hertlein v. St. Paul Fire Ins. Co., 323 Ark. 283 , 914 S.W.2d 303 (1996). In any case, I respectfully dissent for the reasons stated in my dissenting opinion in Morrison v. Jennings, 328 Ark. 278 , 943 S.W.2d 559 (1997) (J. Brown, dissenting).
