FRANK HENSLEY, Plaintiff-Appellee, v CONTINENTAL WESTERN INSURANCE CO., an Ohio Corporation, Defendant-Appellant, and WERCH TRUCKING, INC., Defendant. -1­ No. 214143 Allegan Circuit Court LC No. 96019567 ND Before: McDonald, P.J., and Neff and Smolenski, JJ. SMOLENSKI, J. (concurring in part and dissenting in part). I respectfully dissent from the majority’s opinion rejecting plaintiff’s second claim of error in Docket No. 210649. Under the facts of this case, I would find that Continental was estopped from asserting plaintiff’s failure to satisfy the one-year statute of limitations under the no-fault act, MCL 500.3145(2); MSA 24.13145(2). See Cincinnati Ins Co v Citizens Ins Co, 454 Mich 263; 562 NW2d 648 (1997). I concur with the majority’s opinion regarding plaintiff’s first and third claims of error in Docket No. 210649 and with the majority’s opinion in Docket No. 214143. /s/ Michael R. Smolenski -2­
