Federal 7th Circuit Court
Civil Court
Section 1983 Action
Plaintiff timely filed instant section 1983 action alleging that his pre-trial detention violated his 4th Amendment rights, because he was incarcerated without probable cause. Record showed that relevant limitations period was two years, and although plaintiff filed instant action more than two years after his initial incarceration, instant action was timely, because it was filed within two years of date he was released from custody. This is so, Ct. found, because instant “wrong” was ongoing throughout his detention and did not cease until his release from said custody.
