Christina Moore v. Harrisonburg Police Department, et al.
IFP petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, No. 25-1216 · judgment June 17, 2025
Questions presented
-
Whether a claim under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 accrues when the underlying injury occurs, or when the plaintiff discovers, or reasonably should have discovered, government misconduct that prevented earlier filing.
-
Whether equitable tolling applies where law enforcement officers allegedly withheld, mislabeled, or failed to process critical evidence for extended periods, thereby preventing timely discovery of constitutional violations.
-
Whether a district court may dismiss a pro se complaint as time-barred at the screening stage under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B) where the complaint plausibly alleges delayed accrual and equitable tolling.
-
Whether the failure to construe a pro se complaint liberally, as required by this Court’s precedent, warrants reversal of a dismissal based on statute of limitations grounds.
-
Whether government concealment or delayed disclosure of material evidence constitutes an extraordinary circumstance sufficient to warrant equitable tolling under federal law.
-
Whether a continuing course of governmental misconduct can support application of the continuing violation doctrine in a § 1983 action.
