United States First Circuit

In a putative class action seeking to hold defendant liable, under theories of tortious interference with employment arrangements, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, and unjust enrichment, for losses suffered by a factory's workers as a result of the sale and liquidation of the factory, which plaintiff claims defendant orchestrated, the district court properly dismissed the action, where: 1) five years passed between the liquidation of the factory and the commencement of this action; 2) the action is time-barred under the applicable three-year limitations period; and 3) plaintiff is not entitled to equitable tolling of the statutory limitations period.
