United States Ninth Circuit
Lyons v. Michael & Assocs., 13-56657
In an action brought under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the district court's dismissal of a complaint as time-barred is reversed where: 1) the discovery rule applies in an FDCPA action; and accordingly, 2) the one-year statute of limitations began to run when the defendants served the plaintiff with process, rather than on the date the debt collection action was filed.
