LANDRIEU, Judge.
This is an appeal from a trial court judgment sustaining an exception of prescription in favor of the Louisiana Patient's Compensation Fund (the Fund) which resulted in the dismissal of the plaintiff's case for excessive damages. The issue before us is whether the Fund lacks standing to raise prescription once the patient and health care provider have agreed to settle a malpractice claim for the statutory maximum of $100,000.
