MEMORANDUM** 

Cal.Gov't Code Sec. 945.3 tolled the statute of limitations applicable to Diaz's civil rights action. See Harding v. Galceran, 889 F.2d 906, 908-09 (9th Cir. 1989), cert. denied, 1991 US LEXIS 954 (Feb. 19, 1991). Hardin v. Straub, 490 U.S. 536 (1989), cited by appellees, does not suggest a different result.

Appellant has not prevailed on the merits of her claim. Her request for attorney fees under 42 U.S.C. § 1988 is denied. See Jensen v. City of San Jose, 806 F.2d 899, 901 (9th Cir. 1986) (en banc).

REVERSED AND REMANDED.
