FOIL, J.

This appeal challenges the dismissal of a suit against various defendants on the basis that plaintiffs failed to request service on the defendants within ninety days after filing suit against them as required by La. R.S. 13:5107. We find the trial judge erred in dismissing one of the defendants from this lawsuit pursuant to that provision and in dismissing the suit with prejudice as to the remaining defendants. In all other respects, we affirm.
