Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

James J. Fougerousse, Jackson, for appellant.

Before ROY NOBLE LEE, P.J., and ROBERTSON and ANDERSON, JJ.

ANDERSON, Justice, for the Court:

One who files an action at law assumes an obligation to use all due diligence to see that the action proceeds on its natural course until the matter is resolved, or at least to put no obstacles in the way. The fate of this medical malpractice action, coming before us from the Circuit Court of Hinds County, underscores the need for taking this obligation seriously. We affirm the lower court's judgment.
