What is the limitation period for a search and seizure action against a federal officer?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Singleton v. City of New York, 632 F.2d 185 (2nd Cir. 1980):

3 In Regan v. Sullivan, 557 F.2d 300 (2d Cir. 1977), we exhaustively analyzed all other possible New York State limitations periods in the context of a Bivens-type suit against federal officers. We need not repeat that discussion here except to note that we found 215(3) inapplicable to a suit alleging an unconstitutional search and seizure on the ground that a deprivation of a constitutional right is significantly more serious than a violation of a common law or state right and thus warrants a different remedy.
