1Opinion of the Court
BELSON, Associate Judge:
Appellants, a law partnership and its several individual partners, appeal from a trial court order which dismissed the partnership’s complaint on the ground that the complaint failed to state a claim upon which relief could be granted. 1 The trial court ruled that under the District of Columbia Wrongful Death Act, D.C.Code 1981, §§ 16-2701 et seq., the law partnership had no right of action for damages arising out of the death of the managing partner of the law firm. We agree with the trial court’s ruling and affirm the order dismissing the complaint.
