No. 8114SC726.

289 S.E.2d 875 (1982)

Rose T. ROBERTS and husband, James Roberts v. DURHAM COUNTY HOSPITAL CORPORATION and James E. Davis.

Court of Appeals of North Carolina.

April 6, 1982.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Grover C. McCain, Jr., Durham, for plaintiffs-appellants.

Young, Moore, Henderson & Alvis by Walter Brock, Jr., Raleigh, for defendant-appellee James E. Davis.

Haywood, Denny & Miller by George W. Miller, Jr., Durham, for defendant-appellee Durham County Hospital Corp.


ROBERT M. MARTIN, Judge.

This case questions the constitutionality of N.C.Gen.Stat. § 1-15(c) which provides for a special limitation period for malpractice actions against professionals. Plaintiffs argue that the statute operates to unconstitutionally deny them a reasonable time in which to file their action; that it is discriminatory, denies equal protection of the laws, and is vague. We affirm the decision of the trial court.
