Abuse of Discretion – Statute of Limitations
By: Derek Hawkins//November 2, 2021//
Listen to this article7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Case Name: Kirk C. Jones v. Kevin Ramos, et al.,
Case No.: 20-2017
Officials: ROVNER, HAMILTON, and ST. EVE, Circuit Judges.
Focus: Abuse of Discretion – Statute of Limitations
The district court dismissed this personal injury case without prejudice for failure to timely serve the summons and complaint on the defendants. Because the plaintiff had filed the suit only two days short of the limitations period, this ruling effectively ended the litigation. We find no abuse of discretion in the district court’s decision, and so we affirm.
