Aelicia L. Thomas v. Bolivar County, Mississippi

Summary

The Court held that Thomas timely commenced her Mississippi Tort Claims Act action because her complaint, civil cover sheet, and filing fee were delivered to the clerk on the next business day after the limitations period ended on a Sunday. It further held that immediate submission of a summons was not required to commence the action or preserve timeliness under the Mississippi Electronic Courts procedures. The Court reversed the judgment on the pleadings and remanded for further proceedings.
