FURTHER ORDERED that in the event a dismissal is inadvertently entered in a case not subject to dismissal for the reasons stated above, this will constitute grounds for the effected plaintiff to reinstate his or her action against PCPC, and the statute of limitations in such a case would be tolled from the date of the entry of dismissal until the date of reinstatement.
