United States DC Circuit

In a suit alleging a civil RICO conspiracy and various torts related to Jordan's seizure of plaintiff's bank, dismissal of claims as time-barred is affirmed where: 1) consideration of the timeliness of the claims prior to the jurisdictional question of foreign sovereign immunity was proper; 2) plaintiff's claim accrued in 1989, outside the limitations period; and 3) plaintiff did not plead facts alleging that he was injured by a "continuing tort."
