The following excerpt is from Dodds v. Cigna Securities, Inc., 12 F.3d 346 (2nd Cir. 1993):
Appellant also claims that the district court erred in ruling that there was no fraudulent concealment tolling the statute of limitations. If the defendants actively prevented Dodds from discovering the basis of her claim, then the statute would be tolled for the period of concealment. Appellant relies in particular on McCoy v. Goldberg, 748 F.Supp. 146, 158 (S.D.N.Y.1990), in which the statute of limitations was tolled where an investment advisor "deterred plaintiff from examining the extensive offering documents."
