The following excerpt is from Anderson v. United States, Case No. 1:16-cv-00352-DAD-SAB (PC) (E.D. Cal. 2018):
Next, California Civil Procedure Code 352.1(a) provides for an automatic tolling for certain prisoner plaintiffs. Under that code section, when a plaintiff is "imprisoned on a criminal charge" for "a term less than life" at the time a claim accrues, the statute of limitations is statutorily tolled during the time of his imprisonment for up to two more years. See Cal. Civ. Proc. Code 352.1(a); see also Fink v. Shedler, 192 F.3d 911, 914 (9th Cir. 1999) (citing same).
