MOTION AND PROCEDURAL RULING
     

     On review of an order certifying a conflict. The court determines that a conflict exists. The parties are ordered to brief the issue stated at page 26 of the court of appeals' entry filed October 11, 2018: "Does the Ohio savings statute, R.C. 2305.19(A), apply to an action in which a plaintiff attempts, but fails to perfect service on the original complaint within one year pursuant to Civ.R. 3(A)? If so, when a plaintiff files instructions for service after the Civ.R. 3(A) one-year period, does the request act as a dismissal by operation of law and also act as the refiling of an identical cause of action so as to allow the action to continue?"
