United States Sixth Circuit

The two-year limitation period expired before a federal prisoner's pro se action was brought under the Federal Wiretap Act, where information provided him with a "reasonable opportunity to discover the violation" under 18 U.S.C. section 2520(e). District court did not abuse its discretion in denying a motion to amend the complaint.
