Syllabus

Trial court did not extend applicable statute of limitations by granting motion for leave to amend complaint. Civ.R. 15(D) procedure must be strictly followed and is not available where plaintiff knows or should know name of defendant. Captioning complaint against unknown doctors and nurses \c/o\ the hospital does not suffice to name hospital as defendant. Civ.R. 15(C) is available to change—not add—parties.
