United States First Circuit

In plaintiff's 42 U.S.C. section 1983 suit against the president of the New Hampshire State Board of Medicine, arising from the Board's mischaracterization of plaintiff's temporary license as disciplinary action rather than as "Board action" and posted on the Board's website and in newsletters, judgment of the district court is affirmed where: 1) the issuance of plaintiff's temporary license and the posting of the newsletter labeling it a "disciplinary action" occurred eleven years before filing of the complaint, which is well outside the limitations period; and 2) plaintiff has failed to identify any retaliatory decision or action by the Board in response to her attempts to avail herself of administrative remedies.
