On Petition for Rehearing.
PER CURIAM.
The appellant in its petition for rehearing contends that in deciding that the limitation provision of the policy in suit did not bar the maintenance of this action, this court has refused to give effect to controlling decisions of the intermediate appellate courts of Missouri, which are not necessarily inconsistent with the opinions of the Supreme Court of Missouri.
It is to be noted that this action involves a policy upon the life of a citizen of Missouri, written by a company doing business *182in Missouri, upon an application made to one of its agents in Missouri, and that the policy was to be performed in Missouri. We have gone no further than to rule that the decision of the trial court holding that under such circumstances the Supreme Court of Missouri, because of the public policy of that state with respect to the time within which actions may be brought upon policies of insurance, would not enforce the limitation provision of the policy in suit is, in our opinion, correct, and that no Missouri case compels a different conclusion. None of the cases upon which appellant relies present a similar factual situation and in our opinion they do not control the decision of this case.
The petition for rehearing is denied.
