Text: ¶ 29. According to Miss.Code Ann. Sect. 11-7-13, and consistent with this Court's holding in Long, the trial judge erred in severing this wrongful death action. ¶ 30. The trial judge did not err in transferring the medical defendants to DeSoto County. However, it was error not to order Goldstrike to DeSoto County along with the medical defendants. Therefore, we reverse the trial court's severance order and its denial of reconsideration, and we remand this case to the trial court with directions to transfer the entire case to the Circuit Court of DeSoto County for further proceedings consistent with this opinion. ¶ 31.
