United States Ninth Circuit

Claim, that a county's action in accepting dedication of a five-foot path on appellants' property amounted to a "taking" when the offer to dedicate was accepted after appellants purchased the property, was properly dismissed where appellants' claim (and that of their predecessors-in-interest) was time-barred; injunctive and declaratory judgment sought was unavailable in a takings claim.
