*184DISSENTING OPINION

Hoffman, Judge

I dissent from the majority opinion.

I concur in Judge Chipman’s concurring opinion regarding the TR. 41(B) motion.

However, the court committed further error in that it did not construe IC 1971,15-5-8-1, Ind.Ann.Stat. § 16-203 (Burns Code Ed.) and IC 1971,15-5-8-3, Ind.Ann.Stat. § 16-204 (Burns Code Ed.) as interpreted in Seidner v. Dill (1965), 137 Ind.App. 177, 206 N.E.2d 636.

Seidner v. Dill, supra, correctly interprets those statutes, especially the well-reasoned and eloquent concurring opinion of Justice Hunter.

I would reverse the trial court.
