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


Certiorari denied · June 22, 2026

Questions presented

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Whether government concealment or delayed disclosure of material evidence constitutes an extraordinary circumstance sufficient to warrant equitable tolling under federal law.

  6. Whether a continuing course of governmental misconduct can support application of the continuing violation doctrine in a § 1983 action.
