The following excerpt is from Hicks v. Hamkar, No. 2:13-cv-1687 KJM DB P (E.D. Cal. 2017):
4. Plaintiff argues, without citation to authority, that the limitations period for malpractice actions, which is three years in California, should apply. Case law is clear that for 1983 actions, federal courts borrow the state statutes of limitations for personal injury actions. See Wallace v. Kato, 549 U.S. 384, 387 (2007).
