MEMORANDUM OPINION
(September 20, 2004)
THIS MATTER is before the Court on Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment and Motion to Dismiss Complaint, Plaintiff s Opposition and Defendant’s Reply thereto. Defendant argues that, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(1), this action should be dismissed because the Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction over the complaint due to Plaintiffs failure to follow the pre filing procedures for this medical malpractice claim as set forth in Title 27 V.I. CODE Ann. § 166i(b) (1997).
