Ex Parte Maynor & Mitchell Eye Center, P.c., and Jennifer B. Martin, O.d. Petition for Writ of Mandamus (in Re…

Summary

The court granted consolidated mandamus petitions and directed dismissal of the Morgans' medical-malpractice claims because the operative complaint alleged that Arlene first suffered a legally identifiable injury on October 24, 2019, more than four years before suit was filed. The court held that the four-year repose period therefore barred the claims, regardless of later progression of the injury or damages. The court also held that mandamus review was available because the time bar was apparent from the face of the complaint.
