What is the applicable statute of limitation for a civil rights claim brought by appellant against a peace officer?

Appellant argues that the statutes of limitation for filing his claims should have been tolled while appellant's criminal matter proceeded through the trial and appeal process. Appellant points to case law indicating that Government Code section 945.3 tolls applicable statutes of limitation for causes of action for money or damages against a peace officer while charges against the accused are pending. (See, e.g., Harding v. Galceran (9th Cir. 1989) 889 F.2d 906, 908-909 [Government Code section 945.3 tolled limitations period for claims based on the Civil Rights Act, 42 U.S.C. section 1983, while criminal charges were pending against plaintiff].)⁵ Thus, appellant argues, his causes of action did not accrue until the reversal of his conviction on October 4, 2012.
