   PER CURIAM.

Affirmed.

LETTS, C. J., and HERSEY, J., concur.

MOORE, J., dissents with opinion.

MOORE, Judge,

dissenting:

I respectfully dissent. In my opinion, we should follow the reasoning in Limond v. Llanio, 349 So.2d 214 (Fla. 3rd DCA 1977) and hold that the termination of the medical mediation panel’s jurisdiction did not occur, until the expiration of six months following the filing of the claim. By so holding, the common law complaint was filed within the applicable statute of limitations and the summary, final judgment in favor of the defendant was erroneous.
