Federal 7th Circuit Court
Civil Court
Statute of Limitations
Dist. Ct. did not err in dismissing as time-barred plaintiff's section 1983 action alleging Wrongful Death Act and negligence claims arising out of defendants-prison officials' lack of medical treatment given to plaintiff while he was prisoner. Plaintiff's estate filed instant claims approximately 10 months after applicable two-year deadline. Ct. rejected plaintiff's claim that limitations period should have been tolled where sole beneficiary of plaintiff's estate was minor child.
