The following excerpt is from Gray v. First Winthrop Corp., 989 F.2d 1564 (9th Cir. 1993):
These cases involve federal securities fraud claims under section 10(b) of the 1934 Act, 15 U.S.C. 78j(b), and S.E.C. Rule 10b-5. Because the private 10b-5 suit is a judicially created "implied right of action," section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 contain no statute of limitations provision. At the time the Appellants here filed their complaints, the law of this circuit applied to these cases a statute of limitations period derived or "borrowed" from state law. See Reeves v. Teuscher, 881 F.2d 1495, 1500 (9th Cir.1989).
