Head Matter:
Robert SHACKFORD v. Lawrence BOUCHARD.
Supreme Judicial Court of Maine.
Argued Nov. 7, 1988.
Decided Nov. 22, 1988.
Jacob Apuzzo (orally), Reagan, Adams & Apuzzo, Kennebunk, for plaintiff.
Christopher C. Taintor (orally), Norman, Hanson & Detroy, Portland, for defendant.
Before ROBERTS, WATHEN, GLASSMAN, CLIFFORD, HORNBY and COLLINS, JJ.

Opinion:
MEMORANDUM OF DECISION.
Contrary to the contention of Robert Shackford on his appeal from a summary judgment of the Superior Court (Cumberland County, Brodrick, J.) in favor of Lawrence Bouchard, the trial court properly held that the 90-day tolling period of 24 M.R.S.A. § 2903 (repealed and replaced by P.L. 1985, ch. 804, § 14) was not operative because Shackford's written notice was not served on Bouchard, and the statute of limitations for alleged negligent professional health care, see 14 M.R.S.A. § 753 (1980) (current version at 24 M.R.S.A. § 2902 (Supp.1988)), therefore barred Shackford's claim.
