Because Henry has not had his conviction invalidated, pursuant to Heck, his section 1983 claim, if any, has not yet accrued.

A § 1983 claim for deprivation of property seized during a search accrues on the date of seizure, even if prosecution remains possible.

Smith v. City of Jennings, MO · filed 2004-11-01

Federal law determines when a Section 1983 claim accrues, while state law sets the length of the limitations period.

Behavioral Inst IN v. Hobart City · filed 2005-05-09

While state law determines the length of the limitations period, federal law determines the date of accrual of the cause of action.

A § 1983 malicious prosecution claim does not accrue unless the criminal proceedings terminate in the plaintiff’s favor.

Jones v. City of Boston · filed 2005-06-14

As indicated below, however, Jones failed to plead specific facts tending to show that the state criminal proceedings terminated in his favor. As a result, his malicious prosecution claims are neither presently cognizable (they have not yet accrued), nor substantively viable (one of the prerequisites for that cause of action is lacking).

A § 1983 claim that would imply the invalidity of a conviction does not accrue until the conviction is overturned.

Gibson v. NJ Dept Law & Pub · filed 2005-06-14

Accordingly, in those cases in which a district court determines that success on the § 1983 claim would imply the invalidity of the conviction, the cause of action is deferred until the conviction is overturned.

A § 1983 claim accrues only after a conviction is overturned when success on the claim would imply that the conviction was invalid.

Gibson v. Superintendent Of New Jersey Department Of Law And Public Safety-Division Of State Police · filed 2005-06-14

Accordingly, in those cases in which a district court determines that success on the § 1983 claim would imply the invalidity of the conviction, the cause of action is deferred until the conviction is overturned.

Federal law determines when a § 1983 civil rights action accrues.

Hughes v. Vanderbilt University · filed 2000-06-07

Federal law, however, controls the determination of when a civil rights action accrues.

A § 1983 claim accrues when the plaintiff knows or has reason to know of the injury underlying the action.

Tatreau v. City of Los Angeles · filed 2005-07-11

Under federal law, a § 1983 claim accrues when a plaintiff knows or has reason to know of the injury which is the basis of the action.

A § 1983 claim for denial of a name-clearing hearing accrues when the hearing is denied, because that is when the plaintiff has reason to know of the injury.

Kelly v. Burks · filed 2005-07-20

We conclude that the alleged constitutional injury occurred on the date that the name- clearing hearing was denied, which was on April 14, 2003. Only as of that date did Kelly “know[] or ha[ve] reason to know of the injury which is the basis of his action.”

A § 1983 claim accrues when the plaintiff knows or has reason to know of the injury underlying it; a claim for denial of a name-clearing hearing accrues when the hearing is denied.

Kelly v. Ishmon F. Burks, Jr. · filed 2005-07-20

This court has held that, in actions brought under § 1983, “[t]he statute of limitations commences to run when the plaintiff knows or has reason to know of the injury which is the basis of his action.” Sevier v. Turner, 742 F.2d 262, 273 (6th Cir.1984) (citations omitted). In the present ease, therefore, the one-year statute of limitations began to run when Kelly had reason to know of the alleged constitutional injury.

A § 1983 due process claim based on loss of a protected employment interest does not accrue until the plaintiff knows or has reason to know the loss will occur.

Palkovic v. Johnson · filed 2005-09-22

At least in the specific circumstances presented here — where the employer’s decision to file charges in a § 3020-a proceeding was not ipso facto a decision to terminate plaintiffs employment — plaintiffs claim that she was deprived of a constitutionally protected property interest in her tenured teaching position without due process could not have accrued until she knew or had reason to know that she actually would suffer deprivation of that protected property interest.

Section 1983 damages claims that would imply the invalidity of a conviction or sentence do not accrue until the conviction or sentence has been invalidated.

Rose v. Paterson · filed 2005-10-19

A § 1983 claim challenging a disciplinary conviction does not accrue until the conviction is invalidated, so the limitations period does not begin before then.

Miles v. Zellers · filed 2005-12-14

Given that Miles has not secured the invalidation of his disciplinary conviction on habeas review, his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 cause of action has not yet accrued, and, consequently, the statute of limitations has not commenced.

A § 1983 claim arising from a policy that sets a later firing in motion accrues when the policy is adopted.

Wenrich v. County of Los Angeles · filed 2005-12-21

Fisher v. Office of the State Attorney 13th Judicial Circuit · filed 2006-01-19

Section 1983 claims that necessarily challenge a prison disciplinary conviction revoking sentence credits do not accrue while that conviction stands.

Drummer v. Luttrell · filed 1999-11-22

Accordingly, plaintiffs claim of excessive force necessarily attacks the validity of the disciplinary charge and the penalty of lost sentence credits. Accordingly, plaintiffs claims, whether for excessive force or a due process violation, cannot accrue while that disciplinary conviction still stands.

A § 1983 claim accrues when the plaintiff knows or has reason to know of the injury forming the basis of the action.

Feied v. Regents of the University of California · filed 2006-06-20

A § 1983 action accrues when the party “knows or has reason to know of the injury which is the basis of the action.”

A section 1983 excessive-force claim accrues when the alleged injury occurs.

Smith v. Boudreau · filed 2006-06-29

A § 1983 claim accrues when the plaintiff knows or has reason to know of the injury.

Mangano v. Bellotti · filed 2006-07-05

“[A] § 1983 claim accrues when a plaintiff knows or has reason to know of his injury.”

A § 1983 claim accrues when the plaintiff knows of the injury; pursuing a grievance does not postpone accrual.

Xu v. Michigan State University · filed 2006-08-24

The key date for the accrual of the limitations period is the injury, not the completion of any grievance process.

A § 1983 claim challenging a prison disciplinary conviction does not accrue until the prisoner succeeds in overturning that conviction.

Reyes v. Herrera · filed 2006-10-24

Reyes’s concern is unfounded because his claim will not accrue until he has succeeded in overturning his disciplinary conviction.

A § 1983 claim challenging a forfeiture proceeding accrues when that proceeding occurs, rather than when the property is initially seized.

Kripp v. Luton · filed 2006-10-26

Concluding that a claim challenging a forfeiture proceeding accrues only at the time of that proceeding – not earlier – makes considerable practical sense.

A § 1983 claim challenging due process in a forfeiture proceeding accrues with the forfeiture, rather than the earlier seizure.

Kripp v. Luton · filed 2006-10-26

These claims regarding the forfeiture proceedings accrued at the earliest on March 4, 2004, the date the state declared his property forfeited, or on May 5, 2004, the date Mr. Kripp became aware that his property had already been forfeited. Either date puts the filing of his complaint clearly within the two-year statute of limitations for bringing § 1983 actions. Accordingly, the district court erred in dismissing Mr. Kripp’s § 1983 action alleging due process violations from the state forfeiture process.

Section 1983 damages claims that would imply the invalidity of an outstanding conviction do not accrue until the conviction has been invalidated.

Roth v. Green · filed 2006-10-30

As correctly noted by the district court, that was precisely the situation here: by asserting that they were the victims of an unconstitutional drug checkpoint, Roth and Gumeson were effectively questioning the validity of their arrests and convictions. Thus, to recover damages based on their allegations, Roth and Gumeson were first obligated to “‘prove that the[ir] conviction[s] . . . ha[d] been reversed on direct appeal, expunged by executive order, declared invalid by a state tribunal authorized to make such determination, or called into question by a federal court’s issuance of a writ of habeas corpus.’” Id. (quoting Heck, 512 U.S. at 486-87). Not until they successfully did so would their § 1983 claims have arisen.

Section 1983 method-of-execution claims accrue when direct review ends or the time to seek it expires, provided the inmate could reasonably know of the challenged execution method.

Cooey v. Taft · filed 2007-03-02

Thus, since the “date” the lethal injection protocol is imposed is infeasible, it stands to reason that the next most appropriate accrual date should mirror that found in the AEDPA: upon conclusion of direct review in the state court or the expiration of time for seeking such review.

A § 1983 method-of-execution claim accrues when the prisoner knew or should have known of the challenged method through reasonable inquiry and could seek relief.

Richard Wade Cooey, II v. Ted Strickland, Governor Terry J. Collins, Director E.C. Voorhies, Warden · filed 2007-03-02

Actual knowledge, however, is not the appropriate measure; the test is whether he knew or should have known based upon reasonable inquiry, and could have filed suit and obtained relief.

A § 1983 claim accrues when the plaintiff knows or has reason to know of the injury underlying the claim.

Eidson v. Tennessee Department of Children's Services · filed 2007-03-06

The statute of limitations in this § 1983 action began “to run when the plaintiff kn[ew] or ha[d] reason to ‘know of the injury which is the basis of his action.”

A Section 1983 claim arising from an illegal search and arrest accrues when the plaintiff knows of the injury; Heck does not delay accrual when no conviction exists at that time.

Kucharski v. Leveille · filed 2007-03-21

Because the plaintiffs had not been convicted of anything at the time of the illegal arrest and search on March 24, 2001, Heck does not apply.

A § 1983 claim accrues when the facts supporting it are apparent, even if the plaintiff has not discovered the legal basis for suit.

Traylor v. Jenks · filed 2007-03-29

Traylor’s statute of limitations argument was rejected because a civil rights action accrues when the facts are apparent, not upon discovery of the legal basis for suit. ... W e agree in all respects with the well-reasoned report and recommendation of the magistrate judge adopted by the district court.

For a § 1983 wrongful imprisonment claim based on separate daily violations, the limitations period begins anew for each day of imprisonment.

McCabe v. Olivia Craven · filed 2007-04-19

Our point of accrual analysis being the same under section 1983 and the ITCA, we therefore uniformly apply the common law doctrine of continuing violation to McCabe’s federal and state claims. ... Each new day that McCabe was wrongfully imprisoned represents another day on which the statute of limitations begins to run.

Section 1983 claims for false arrest and malicious prosecution that depend on invalidating a conviction accrue when the conviction is overturned.

Skinner v. Chapman · filed 2007-05-30

Plaintiffs claims for false arrest and malicious prosecution accrued on February 2, 2006, the date that the County Court reversed his conviction.

An accrued § 1983 claim is not deferred under Heck merely because it might undermine a future conviction.

Fox v. Ronald Desoto, Louisville Regional Airport Authority · filed 2007-06-04

Accordingly, the possibility that the plaintiffs already-accrued § 1983 claims might impugn an anticipated future conviction did not trigger the Heck rule for deferred accrual.

A § 1983 false-arrest claim accrues when the resulting criminal prosecution terminates in the plaintiff’s favor.

Mapes v. Bishop · filed 2007-06-15

A false-arrest claim under § 1983 does not accrue until a criminal prosecution that stems from such arrest terminates in the plaintiff’s favor.

A § 1983 claim analogous to malicious prosecution requires favorable termination of the underlying proceedings and does not accrue until they terminate.

Morrison v. Officer Maxie Jones · filed 1977-03-14

Since federal law does not define the elements of the claim, we adopt the common law rule that favorable termination of the proceedings is essential.

A § 1983 claim accrues when the plaintiff has reason to know of the injury underlying the claim.

Allen v. White · filed 2007-08-22

We are unpersuaded by Allen’s contention because on or before November 15, 1999, he had reason to know of the injury that is the basis for his section 1983 claim.

Section 1983 claims accrue when the plaintiff knows or has reason to know of the injury underlying the claim.

Educadores Puertorriqueños v. Hernandez · filed 2007-08-28

The limitations period for § 1983 claims begins to run when the aggrieved party knows or has reason to know of the injury which is the basis for his action. ... Accordingly, we find that plaintiffs’ claims accrued at the time they petitioned transfer from the English Immersion School. Therefore, their § 1983 claims are untimely.

A § 1983 due process claim is not deferred under Heck during related pre-conviction proceedings and must be filed within the applicable limitations period.

Eidson v. Tennessee Department of Children's Services · filed 2007-12-20

Accordingly, because we conclude that the rule of Heck does not apply in the pre-conviction setting to delay accrual of plaintiffs due process cause of action, we concur in the district court’s ruling that plaintiffs § 1983 claims are time-barred.

A § 1983 claim accrues when the plaintiff knows the critical facts of the injury and who inflicted it; not knowing the defendant’s name does not delay filing.

Dixon v. Hubert · filed 2007-12-28

“The standard for when a § 1983 claim accrues is when “the plaintiff is in possession of the ‘critical facts that he has been hurt and who has inflicted the injury.’” Lavellee v. Listi, 611 F.2d 1129, 1131 (5th Cir. 1980) (citation omitted). Dixon’s argument that he could not file his suit sooner because he did not know the warden’s name to name him as the defendant is meritless.

A § 1983 claim accrues when the plaintiff knows the critical facts of the injury and who caused it.

Dixon v. Cooper · filed 2007-12-28

Dixon’s claims accrued in September 2005, when he learned of the injury that formed the basis of his suit.

A § 1983 claim accrues when the plaintiff knows or should know of the injury; not understanding its legal significance does not delay accrual.

Richards, Terence B. v. County of Lake · filed 2008-02-06

Richards obviously knew during the limitations period that Kleinhubert had refused to communicate with him during the Harrington case; that Richards may not have understood the legal significance of that refusal is not sufficient to prove that his claim accrued later than the date of his injury.

Section 1983 claims accrue under federal rules that generally follow common-law tort principles.

Burgest v. McAfee · filed 2008-02-08

The accrual date for an action under section 1983 is “governed by federal rules conforming in general to common-law tort principles.” Wallace v. Kato, 127 S. Ct. 1091, 1095 (2007).

Federal law determines when a § 1983 claim accrues.

Fullman v. Pennsylvania Department of Corrections · filed 2008-02-15

Although state law determines the limitations period, the accrual date of a § 1983 claim is solely a question of federal law.

Section 1983 wrongful detention claims accrue when the plaintiff is released or legal process begins for a Fourth Amendment claim, and no earlier than favorable termination for a due process claim.

Mondragon v. Thompson · filed 2008-03-10

The period of time between an unlawful arrest and the institution of legal process forms one constitutional claim, arising under the Fourth Amendment. That claim accrues when the plaintiff is released or legal process is instituted justifying that imprisonment. The period of time between the institution of that process and its favorable termination— through acquittal, habeas corpus, voluntary dismissal, etc.—forms a second claim, arising under the Due Process Clause. That claim accrues, at the earliest, when favorable termination occurs.

A § 1983 false arrest claim does not accrue while success on it would necessarily imply the invalidity of a potential conviction in a pending prosecution.

Krug v. County of Rennselaer · filed 2008-03-31

Thus, success on a false arrest claim — which would require Krug to establish that there was not probable cause to arrest him because he was not the perpetrator of the attempted bank robbery on June 6, 2001 — would necessarily imply the invalidity of any potential conviction on the currently-pending prosecution. Accordingly, Robert Krug’s false arrest claim has not yet accrued and, therefore, must be dismissed under Heck and Covington.

A Section 1983 claim challenging a demotion or discharge accrues when the action takes effect, rather than when the employee receives advance notice of it.

Fernandez v. Carlos Chardon, Etc. · filed 1981-05-08

We hold that plaintiffs’ cause of action accrued, and the limitations period began, on the date when the demotions or discharges took effect.

A § 1983 cause of action accrues when the plaintiff knew or should have known of the injury on which it is based.

Brown v. Pennsylvania Department of Health · filed 2008-04-25

A § 1983 cause of action accrues when the plaintiff knew or should have known of the injury upon which its action is based.

A prisoner’s § 1983 damages claim over a disciplinary proceeding does not accrue while a legal bar prevents the prisoner from bringing it.

Thompson-Bey v. Stapleton · filed 2008-05-27

The plaintiffs cause of action did not accrue until the decisional law removed the bar that prevented a prisoner’s section 1983 damage action for the alleged deprivation of a constitutional right during prison discipline proceedings.

A § 1983 false imprisonment claim accrues when the alleged false imprisonment ends.

McCabe v. Craven · filed 2008-06-12

However, under controlling federal law regarding accrual of his cause of action, the statute of limitations did not begin to run against McCabe’s cause of action until the false imprisonment ended on March 7, 2003.

Section 1983 claims accrue under federal common law when the plaintiff knows or should know that his federal rights have been violated.

Fayoade, Ayodele v. Spratte, James · filed 2008-07-07

The accrual of claims, for both Fayoade’s section 1983 claim and any potential claim grounded in the ATS, is governed by federal common law. ... Claims accrue when the plaintiff knows or should know that his federal rights have been violated.

A Section 1983 unlawful search claim based on a warrant obtained through false statements accrues when the plaintiff discovers how the warrant was obtained.

Johnson v. Garza · filed 2008-07-11

Under the federal discovery rule, Johnson’s Section 1983 unlawful search claim did not accrue on October 2, 2003, but rather at the later time that he discovered the warrant used to execute that search was obtained through Officers’ false statements.

A § 1983 due process claim for denial of a fair criminal trial may be brought only after the conviction is set aside.

Dominguez v. Hendley · filed 2008-09-30

A § 1983 claim for a due process violation based on the denial of a fair criminal trial may be brought only after the conviction is set aside. Otherwise, that civil claim would imply the invalidity of the outstanding conviction and would thus constitute a collateral attack on the conviction through an impermissible route.

A § 1983 claim alleging denial of a fair criminal trial accrues only after the conviction is set aside.

Dominguez, S. Alejan v. Hendley, Paul · filed 2008-09-30

A § 1983 claim for a due process viola- tion based on the denial of a fair criminal trial may be brought only after the conviction is set aside.

A Section 1983 malicious prosecution claim does not accrue until the underlying criminal proceedings terminate in the plaintiff’s favor.

Rose v. Bartle · filed 1989-03-20

The plaintiffs maintain that because favorable termination was a necessary element of their section 1983 claim, they neither knew nor had reason to know of the injury that constituted the basis of their actions until such termination, and that, accordingly, their section 1983 actions did not accrue under federal law until such termination. We agree.

A § 1983 claim does not accrue anew merely because an earlier, time-barred violation continues to have discriminatory effects.

Fiesel v. BD. OF ED. OF CITY OF NEW YORK · filed 1981-09-22

Under federal principles, the mere allegation of recent discriminatory impact of an earlier and time-barred violation is insufficient to constitute a continuing or independent act of discrimination for purposes of the statute of limitations.

A § 1983 claim accrues when the plaintiff knows or should know of the injury and its probable cause.

Nasim v. Warden, Maryland House of Correction · filed 1995-01-10

Thus, there is no finding by the district court that the complaint was not filed within three years from the date on which Nasim’s claims accrued, i.e., within three years from the date on which he knew or should have known of the probable cause of his injury.

The limitations period for a § 1983 claim challenging an employment termination begins when the employee receives notice of the final decision, rather than when employment ends.

Chardon v. Fernandez · filed 1982-01-11

In the cases at bar, respondents were notified, when they received their letters, that a final decision had been made to terminate their appointments. The fact that they were afforded reasonable notice cannot extend the period within which suit must be filed.

A § 1983 claim for wrongful incarceration accrues when the plaintiff knows or has reason to know of the injury underlying the claim.

Boag v. Chief of Police, City of Portland, and City of Portland, Oregon · filed 1982-02-18

Although a § 1983 action generally accrues at the time wrongful incarceration commences, ... it does not accrue until “a plaintiff knows or has reason to know of the injury which is the basis of his action.”

A § 1983 claim concerning a conviction accrues when that conviction is reversed, even if a retrial is pending.

Davis v. Zain · filed 1996-03-28

We therefore conclude that his § 1983 claim relating to that conviction has accrued.

Section 1983 land-use due process and equal protection claims accrue when the relevant authority makes a final decision on the challenged action.

Schulz v. Milne · filed 1996-10-03

Application of the Norco rationales therefore indicates the equal protection and due process claims ripened and the statute began to run in June 1991, not November 1991. The district court correctly ruled that these claims were time-barred by the time the Schulzes sued in October 1992.

A §1983 wrongful prosecution claim accrues when the conviction is set aside, even if another prosecution remains possible.

Andres Del Real v. Gomez · filed 2009-05-11

Once the conviction has been set aside in any of these ways, victory in a §1983 suit would not conflict with a binding adjudication. This means that the state appellate court’s decision (or, perhaps, the issuance of its mandate) caused Del Real’s claim against the prosecutor to accrue.

A section 1983 claim accrues when the plaintiff could have known of the alleged wrongdoing.

Cromwell v. New York City Department of Social Services · filed 1997-05-29

Accordingly, the date of such decision marked the accrual of both the aunt’s section 1983 (see, Eagleston v Guido, 41 F3d 865, 871, cert denied 516 US 808) and common-law fraud claims (CPLR 213 [8]; 203 [g]), rendering both timely, as well as her notice of claim (see, Matter of Orsell v Board of Educ., 23 AD2d 703).

A Section 1983 claim for an unlawful search or seizure accrues when the search or seizure occurs, even if criminal proceedings continue.

Gonzalez v. Entress · filed 1998-01-12

Thus a claim asserting a violation of the fourth amendment necessarily “accrues” at the time of the unlawful search or seizure, as we have held several times.

Federal law determines when a § 1983 claim accrues; a false imprisonment claim based on detention without legal process accrues when the detention becomes subject to legal process.

Harrington v. Nashua · filed 2009-06-19

The point at which a § 1983 claim accrues, however, is a question of federal law. ... Thus, the statute of limitations on her false imprisonment claim began to run from that time on September 4, 2003.

A § 1983 malicious prosecution claim that would imply the invalidity of a conviction does not accrue while the conviction remains unoverturned.

McDow, Sr. v. Gonzales · filed 2009-06-24

The district court dismissed plaintiff’s claims against the County Defendants without prejudice, holding that because plaintiff had not overturned his conviction, his § 1983 claims for malicious prosecution against the County Defendants had not accrued. ... We find no error or abuse of discretion, and affirm for substantially the same reasons as those clearly and thoroughly set forth by the district court in its June 23 and September 30, 2008 orders.

A § 1983 wrongful termination claim accrues when the employee receives notice of the termination decision.

Halpern v. Bristol Board of Education · filed 1999-03-15

Accordingly, the Court finds that the period of limitations began to run on August 30, 1974, the date upon which the plaintiff received notice of the decision of the Board to terminate her employment.

A § 1983 claim that would undermine a conviction does not accrue until the conviction or sentence is invalidated.

Hernandez v. City of El Paso · filed 2009-07-09

A Section 1983 claim accrues when the plaintiff knows or should know of the injury and who inflicted it; disputed knowledge may be a question for the jury.

MS Ex Rel. Soltys v. SEMINOLE COUNTY SCHOOL BD. · filed 2009-07-10

However, "[a] cause of action under [§ 1983] will not accrue, and thereby set the limitations clock running, until the plaintiffs know or should know (1) that they have suffered the injury that forms the basis of their complaint and (2) who has inflicted the injury." ... Under the facts of this case, the question of when M.S.'s parents knew or should have known of the abusive conduct inflicted upon M.S. and who inflicted it are questions of fact for a jury to decide, especially in light of the nature of the alleged injuries.

Richard Cooey, II/Jason Getsy v. Strickland · filed 2009-08-12

Because his ability to assert these kinds of challenges was well established long before Baze, as conclusively shown by Getsy’s intervention in the Cooey II case in 2007, we are unpersuaded that Baze caused Getsy’s deadline to file his § 1983 claim to be reset.

Owens v. Baltimore City State's Attorneys Office · filed 2014-09-24

Because the grant of a new trial does not trigger the limitations period for a malicious prosecution claim, the statute of limitations on Owens’s § 1983 claims did not begin to run on the date he was granted a new trial.

The district court correctly dismissed West’s state claim for malicious prosecution because litigation challenging West’s conviction had not yet finally terminated in his favor. Moran v. Klatzke, 682 P.2d 1156, 1157 (Ariz. Ct. App. 1984). The same rule applies to West’s claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against the City of Mesa and Detective Jacobs insofar as they are based on West’s prosecution. Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477, 487 (1994). It was therefore error to dismiss West’s § 1983 claims as time-barred because that claim, like the state malicious prosecution claim, had not yet accrued.

Hueber v. McCune · filed 2014-12-23

Moreover, Hueber’s argument that he did not know of his constitutional injury until the district court granted his suppression motion is without merit, since this knowledge requirement “does not suggest that the statute does not begin to run until the claimant has received judicial verification that the defendants’ acts were wrongful.” Veal v. Geraci, 23 F.3d 722, 724 (2d Cir. 1994).

Crafton v. District of Columbia · filed 2015-09-23

Section 1983 applies the paycheck rule to compensation discrimination claims, so each discriminatory paycheck starts a new limitations period.

Holt v. Deer-Mt. Judea School District · filed 2015-09-23

Since each disparate paycheck issued in a compensation- discrimination case constitutes a new instance of discrimination.under Title VII and the EPA, there is no principled reason why the rule should not be the same under Section 1983.
