Court of Appeals:  Legal Malpractice.

NICKELL, JUDGE: Tim Davis and Tim Davis & Associates, Inc. (collectively “Davis”) appeal from the February 21, 2011, order of the Hardin Circuit Court that denied Davis’s motion to alter, amend, or vacate the Court’s previous order dismissing, without prejudice, Davis’s legal malpractice lawsuit, Action No. 05- CI-00800 (“first action”), against John J. Scott and Whitlow & Scott (collectively “Scott”). Davis also appeals from the February 21, 2011, order of the Hardin Circuit Court that dismissed, with prejudice, Davis’s second legal malpractice lawsuit against Scott, Action No. 10-CI-002530 (“second action”). We reverse the trial court’s order in the first action and remand for further proceedings. We affirm the trial court’s dismissal of the second action.
