Seinfeld, C.J.
(concurring) — I agree with the majority that under the facts of this case the Plaintiff did not act with inexcusable neglect. However, I believe that the further discussion regarding the applicability of the excusable neglect standard to the situation where the Plaintiff wishes to substitute, as opposed to add, a party is unnecessary, and perhaps unwise. I believe we should defer our analysis on this matter until such time as we have a case before us in which counsel has briefed and argued the issue. For that reason, I respectfully decline to concur in that portion of the decision.
