California Court of Appeal
Brooks v. Mercy Hospital, 071884
In a civil procedure action, brought by a state inmate contending that defendant negligently overmedicated him and provided substandard medical care, the trial court's grant of defendant's demurrer on statute of limitation grounds is reversed where Grasso v. McDonough Power Equipment, Inc., 264 Cal.App. 2d 597 (1968) dispositively holds that state inmates serving life sentences with the possibility of parole are eligible for a two-year tolling provision set forth in Code of Civil Procedure section 352.1.
