JAMES M. MURPHY v. RICHARD WILLIAM WEDAN

The Ninth Circuit affirmed a district court's grant of summary judgment in a personal injury case, ruling that the plaintiff's claims were barred by Washington's three-year statute of limitations. The court rejected the plaintiff's argument that the discovery rule tolled the limitations period, finding he knew or should have known of the allegations by 2015 or 2016.
