Early v. Baker

Summary

The court affirmed dismissal with prejudice because the plaintiff's federal civil-rights and state negligence claims were filed after the applicable three-year limitations period, and his prior action did not qualify under the savings statute because service was not completed. The assault-and-battery claims were subject to a one-year limitations period and were already time-barred when the prior action was filed. The motion for an extension of time to file a reply brief was moot because the appeal could not succeed.
