No. 68737-9-1 UNPUBLISHED OPINION FILED: May 12, 2014 Per Curiam— Ronda Snyder, on behalf of her minor daughter B.W., appeals the dismissal on summary judgment of her medical malpractice action. Citing our Supreme Court's recent decision in Schroeder v. Weighall. Wn.2d , 316 P.3d 482 (2014), Snyder has filed a motion on the merits to reverse. RAP 18.14(e)(2). In Weighall. the court held that RCW 4.92.190(2), which abrogated the tolling of the statute of limitations for minors in medical malpractice actions, is unconstitutional. Respondents concede - and we agree - that under Weighall, the trial courterred in entering summary judgment.
No. 68737-9-1/2 Accordingly, we lift the stay previously entered, grant the motion on the merits to reverse, reverse the order granting summary judgment, and remand the case for further proceedings. Reversed and remanded. FOR THE COURT:
