Goodman wasn't paid, sued Praxair.  Should have sued Praxair, Inc.  Wanted to amend and his amendment to relate back.

H - tests to allow relating back of party name:
1 - if claim is same, and just party name changes
2 - new party had received notice of claim and so would not be prejudiced
3 - new party should have known it was a case of mistaken ID

Notes:
Didn't want to disturb Maryland's statute of limitations, wants to protect D repose and stale evidence prob.  But not the case here, b/c co. knew mistake.
