Franklin v. Evans
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the district court granting Defendant's motion to dismiss Plaintiff's action brought under 42 U.S.C. 1983 alleging that Minnesota's continuing predatory-offender registration requirements violated his rights under the federal and state constitutions, holding that there was no error.
More than a decade after he pleaded guilty to second-degree assault and was required to register as a predatory offender under Minn. Stat. 243.166, subd. 1b Plaintiff brought this action. The district court concluded that the statutory limitations period of six years under Minn. Stat. 541.05, subd. 1(5) barred Plaintiff's section 1983 claims and that the continuing-violation doctrine does not apply to predatory-offender registration requirements. The court of appeals affirmed. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the continuing-violation doctrine did not toll the statute of limitations for Plaintiff's claims.
