1Opinion of the Court
LEVAL, Circuit Judge.
Plaintiff Zoraida Montalvo (hereinafter “Zoraida” or the “daughter”) appeals from the judgment of the United States District Court for the District of Puerto Rico dismissing as time-barred her suit alleging malpractice by the providers of medical care to her deceased mother, Juana Montalvo-Colón (hereinafter “Juana” or the “mother”). Because we conclude that Zoraida brought the action within the time allowed by the applicable statute of limitations, we vacate the judgment and remand for further proceedings.
