Unpublished Dispositionronald L. Jordan, Plaintiff-appellant, v. Michael Johnson and James Bundy, Defendant-appellees, 888 F.2d 1391 (6th Cir. 1989)
Annotate this CaseBefore KENNEDY and RYAN, Circuit Judges, and GEORGE CLIFTON EDWARDS, JR., Senior Circuit Judge.
ORDER
Appellant Ronald L. Jordan appeals the District Court's Order Granting Defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment. The District Court determined that appellant's 42 U.S.C. § 1983 claim was barred by the applicable statute of limitations. Appellant argues that his claim was tolled pursuant to Mich.Comp. Laws Ann. Sec. 600.5856 (West 1987).
Appellees have filed a stipulation to grant appellant's requested relief. The recent Supreme Court case, Hardin v. Straub, 109 S. Ct. 1998 (1989), effectively overturned Higley v. Michigan Dept. of Corrections, 835 F.2d 623 (6th Cir. 1987), upon which the District Court relied. Appellee has stipulated that because the Court in Hardin held that Mich.Comp. Laws Ann. Sec. 600.5851(1) (West 1987) is applicable in Sec. 1983 cases, this Court should vacate the Order of the District Court granting Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment.
Accordingly, the Order of the District Court is vacated and the case is remanded to the District Court for further proceedings.
