Does the filing of a felony complaint "commence" an action for purposes of the statute of limitations?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Havner, F069575 (Cal. App. 2017):
5. As we will discuss in issue I, post, section 804 states that the filing of a felony complaint does not "commence" an action for purposes of the statute of limitations, but the action is commenced by the issuance of an arrest warrant within the limitations period. (People v. Johnson (2006) 145 Cal.App.4th 895, 900.)
