Heading: DeSoto Healthcare, Inc. v. Conley

Text: ¶ 6. Ester B. Conley was treated at DeSoto Healthcare Center from August 2005 until February 23, 2006, and subsequently died on March 19, 2006. Thomas Conley, the survivor and heir of Ester B. Conley, served notice of intent to sue DeSoto Healthcare on January 10, 2008. Conley then filed the complaint in this matter on May 19, 2008. The complaint alleged negligence, gross negligence, medical malpractice, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, and violation of the Mississippi Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practices Act. ¶ 7. DeSoto Healthcare filed a Rule 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss the suit on June 18, 2008, alleging that all of the plaintiff's claims arose out of an alleged medical-malpractice action, and the complaint was time-barred by the medical-malpractice statute of limitations. After a hearing on the matter, the trial court entered an order denying DeSoto Healthcare's motion on October 2, 2008. From that order, DeSoto Healthcare appeals.
