ORDER ON PENDING MOTIONS
COLLINSON, District Judge.
The Court is presently occupied with two related questions which require interpretation of the substantive law governing the Missouri Wrongful Death Act. One question requires us to pass upon the retroactive applicability of an amendment to the statute of limitations provision of the Missouri Wrongful Death Act, Mo.Rev.Stat. 537.080 (1978). The other seeks to know if a cause of action in wrongful death passes to the personal representative of a surviving spouse if that spouse dies without appropriating it by filing suit.
There is no dispute…
