1Opinion of the Court

CARLTON, J.,

for the Court.

¶ 1. The Harrison County Chancery Court set aside an order to reopen an estate and for an accounting of estate assets. The court also granted a motion to dismiss the petition to reopen which was previously granted. The petitioners, seeking to reopen the estate and an accounting, appeal, arguing that an interested party was before the court and that fraud was sufficiently alleged to toll the statute of limitations. Finding no error, we affirm the dismissal of the action as barred by the statute of limitations.
