Description

Certiorari denied, No. 25,420, November 13, 1998 APPEAL FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF EDDY COUNTY Jay W. Forbes, District Judge OPINION {1} In this medical malpractice action, Plaintiff appeals the trial court's orders denying her motion for leave to amend her complaint and granting summary judgment in favor of Defendants. On appeal, we consider whether the trial court erred in (1) refusing to allow Plaintiff to file an amended complaint, pursuant to Rule 1-015(A) NMRA 1998 and Rule 1-017(A) NMRA 1998, to join the trustee in a bankruptcy proceeding as an additional party plaintiff; and (2) granting summary judgment in favor of Defendants on the basis that Plaintiff lacked standing to bring suit in her own name. We determine the trial court erred under both issues and thus reverse and remand. I. FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND
