Syllabus

The trial court erred in dismissing appellant's complaint based on his failure to serve appellees within the time specified in Civ.R. 3(A). Appellant requested service to be made on appellees within the statute of limitations for several claims, and the court should have considered this as a refiling of the complaint pursuant to Goolsby v. Anderson Concrete Corp., 61 Ohio St.3d 549, 575 N.E.2d 801 (1991), which would have made failure to comply with Civ.R. 3(A) irrelevant. Judgments reversed and remanded.
