PER CURIAM

Plaintiff, who was imprisoned under a felony conviction, sued defendant for damages, alleging medical malpractice. The trial court dismissed the complaint as barred by the statute of limitations, over plaintiffs objection that ORS 12.160(3) extends the period during which an imprisoned person may commence an action for a period up to five years.
