STATON, Judge.

The appellants in this action (the Grounds) appeal the dismissal of their proposed complaint in their medical malpractice action. While they raise four issues, the underlying dispute is whether the trial court erred in dismissing their proposed complaint with prejudice for failing to timely file a medical submission with the Medical Review Panel. The Grounds' contentions may be addressed in that context.

We affirm.
