MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Vela v. City of Porterville, No. 1:20-cv-01151-AWI-EPG (E.D. Cal. 2020):

Plaintiff alleges constitutional violations that stem from the August 2015 search. "The statute of limitations for section 1983 actions is determined by state law. Section 1983 actions are characterized as personal injury actions for statute of limitations purposes." Trimble v. City of Santa Rosa, 49 F.3d 583, 585 (9th Cir. 1995) (citations omitted). In addition, federal courts will apply "California's law regarding tolling, including equitable tolling, except to the extent any of these laws is inconsistent with federal law." Mills v. City of Covina, 921 F.3d 1161, 1166 (9th Cir. 2019).
