California Court of Appeal

Sustaining of defendant's demurrers for expiration of the statute of limitations, in case involving allegations of sexual abuse committed on plaintiff by a Catholic priest in the early 1970s, is affirmed over claims that: 1) plaintiff's notice of intent to sue filed on date statute of limitations ran was sufficient for timely filing of action; and 2) delayed discovery of plaintiff's cause of action, and the fact that he was a prison inmate, both extended the statute of limitations, and made the April 2004 complaint timely.
