    No. 07-CA-59254.
    Supreme Court of Mississippi.
    Dec. 12, 1990.
    Rehearing Denied Jan. 23, 1991.
    Bentley E. Conner, Canton, for appellant.
    Christopher E. Hoyme, William N. Reed, Robert M. Arentson, Jr., Watkins Ludlam & Stennis, Jackson, Donald R. Jones, Jr., Montgomery, Ala., for appellee.
    Before HAWKINS, P.J., and PITTMAN and BLASS, JJ.
   HAWKINS, Presiding Justice,

for the Court:

Dr. Eugene Hesdorffer has appealed a judgment of the Madison County Chancery Court dismissing his complaint to cancel as a cloud on his property a deed to the defendant Pearl River Valley Water Supply District. The district moved to dismiss the complaint for failure to state a cause of action under Rule 12(b)(6) of the Mississippi Rules of Civil Procedure because Hesdorf-fer had not deraigned title as required by Miss.Code Ann. § 11-17-35 (1972).

This case is controlled by Carpenter v. Haggard, 538 So.2d 776 (Miss.1989). The Mississippi Rules of Civil Procedure, 81(h), Appendix B, supplanted Miss.Code Ann. § 11-17-35. Rule 81(h) was not disapproved by S.Con.Res. 617, 1982 Miss.Laws 675; also see, Miss.Code Ann. § 9-3-71.

REVERSED AND REMANDED.
