United States Eighth Circuit

The statute of limitations under the federal Quiet Title Act, 28 USC 2409a, began to run at the time of the condemnation action because plaintiff's predecessor-in-interest was a party to the condemnation, was aware that the land in question was to be taken in fee simple absolute with no residual interests remaining, and had reasonable notice of the government's claim.
