Humphrey v. Eureka Gardens Public Facility Board

The Eighth Circuit affirmed the district court's dismissal of plaintiffs' 42 U.S.C. 1983 complaint as time-barred. The court held that plaintiffs' claims accrued in October 2011, when they were notified of the allegedly discriminatory decision to install the grinder systems instead of gravity systems at their residences. As such, the installation of the pumps and plaintiffs' continuing responsibility for the additional expenses they entailed, were delayed but inevitable consequences of that decision. Consequently, plaintiffs were on notice as of 2011 and their limitations period expired in October 2014. Therefore, plaintiffs' complaint was time-barred because they did not file this action until May 2016. View "Humphrey v. Eureka Gardens Public Facility Board" on Justia Law
