Michael A. Pryor v. J. B. Hunt Transport, Inc.

Summary

The Mississippi Supreme Court affirmed the Pontotoc County Circuit Court’s grant of summary judgment for J.B. Hunt, holding that the plaintiff’s emotional‑distress claim was barred by the three‑year statute of limitations and was not tolled by the discovery rule, and that the malicious‑prosecution claim was untimely because the criminal proceeding did not terminate in the plaintiff’s favor and the one‑year limitations period had expired.
