Bolinske v. Sandstrom

Summary

The North Dakota Supreme Court affirmed the district court’s judgment dismissing the plaintiff’s defamation claim as barred by the two‑year statute of limitations and upheld the award of attorney’s fees as reasonable. The Court held that the statutory tolling provisions provide only a 45‑day period, which did not extend the filing deadline, and found no abuse of discretion in deeming the claims frivolous or in the fee calculation.
