United States Ninth Circuit
Whidbee v. Pierce County, 14-36094
In a suit brought under 42 U.S.C. section 1983 and state law against a sheriff's department, the district court's dismissal on statute of limitations ground is affirmed where, although 28 U.S.C. section 1448 and Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m) give plaintiffs additional time to effect service of process, these rules do not extend or revive a state statute of limitations that expired before removal.
