PER CURIAM.

This case involves a statute of limitations defense in a suit by a client against his attorney and the estate of that attorney's deceased law partner alleging legal malpractice arising from a title examination prepared by the attorney in 1972. The title examination prepared by the attorney for the client's closing did not disclose a lien which the client later allegedly discovered and paid to release in 1976. In 1978 the client filed this suit.
