WILLIAMS, Judge,
dissents with reasons.
I respectfully dissent, as LSA-C.C.P. art. 1673 provides that “(a) judgment of dismissal without prejudice shall not constitute a bar to another suit on the same cause of action.” [Emphasis added.] Under this article, plaintiff cannot revive the dismissed suit by filing a supplemental or amending petition. Rather, it is necessary that plaintiff refile another suit. Accordingly, I would not overrule Williams v. Cottle, 471 So.2d 305 (La.App. 4th Cir.1985).
