Linda L. Otto, Hugh Otto v. National Institute of Health

K.K. HALL, Circuit Judge:

Linda L. Otto appeals an order of the district court granting summary judgment for the United States of America and denying appellant leave to amend her complaint in this medical malpractice action brought pursuant to the Federal Tort Claims Act, 28 U.S.C. §§ 1346(b) and 2671, et seq. (“FTCA”). Contrary to the conclusion reached by the district court, we hold that Otto’s action is not barred by the FTCA’s two-year statute of limitations. We, therefore, reverse the district court’s decision and remand the matter for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
