MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Shouse v. Pierce County, 559 F.2d 1142 (9th Cir. 1977):
5 "In determining which period of limitation to apply to an action under a particular federal statute, the federal court accepts the state's interpretation of its own statutes of limitations, but determines for itself the nature of the right conferred by the federal statute." (Smith v. Cremins (9th Cir. 1962) 308 F.2d 187, 189 (footnotes omitted).)
