Lawhon v. L.B.J. Institutional Supply, Inc.

OPINION

CORCORAN, Judge.

Appellants Lawhon appeal from the granting of a motion for judgment on the pleadings in favor of two defendants in a wrongful death action. The trial court considered matters outside the pleadings and the motion was treated as a motion for summary judgment. See rule 12(c), Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure. Defendants’ motion was based on the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. We reverse the judgment, based on our interpretation of Anson v. American Motors Corp., 155 Ariz. 420, 747 P.2d 581 (App.1987).
