United States Third Circuit
Jewelcor Inc. v. Karfunkel, 05-2244, 05-4121, 06-4003
Denial of defendants' motion to dismiss a breach-of-lease claim brought by plaintiffs on statute-of-limitations grounds, and a judgment and award of attorney's fees for plaintiffs, are reversed in part and vacated in part where the district court should have granted defendants' motion to dismiss where, since a Pennsylvania savings statute would not permit plaintiff to pursue its time-barred claim in a state court, the statute could not preserve the claim in a federal court.
