1Opinion of the CourtDrake, J.
In this appeal, the plaintiffs sued for damages in district court after the Louisiana Patient’s Compensation Fund (“PCF”) dismissed their medical malpractice claims for failure to appoint an attorney chairperson to the medical review panel (“MRP”) within the requisite one year timeframe. The defendants filed dilatory exceptions of prematurity. The district court sustained the exceptions, dismissed the plaintiffs’ suit without prejudice, and remanded the matter to the PCF to convene a MRP. For the reasons that follow, we reverse.
