1Opinion of the Court

McGIVERIN, Chief Justice.

This is an appeal by the administrators of the estate of Jonathan Drahaus, from a judgment of the district court dismissing an action against the State and certain state employees under the Iowa Tort Claims Act which was brought on behalf of Jonathan Drahaus, a minor child. The district court dismissed the action because no claim was filed on Jonathan’s behalf with the state ap peal board within two years from the date the claim accrued as required by Iowa Code section 669.13 (1993). 1 We will regard Jonathan as the plaintiff.

We affirm.
