Description
Case by Ervin Ross, Jr., against Michael Fisher and Robert Kinzel, police officers, for damages arising from assault and battery allegedly committed in connection with arrest and incarceration. Cause dismissed on motion. Plaintiff appeals. Affirmed. VOELKER, J. Tthis is a civil action for assault and battery against 2 police officers commenced more than 2 years after the alleged assault occurred. Defendants moved below to dismiss on the ground that the action was barred by the 2-year statute of limitations. Plaintiff countered that the statute is no bar because the defendants fraudulently concealed their identity from him, thus, under a 1954 amendment hereinafter set forth, tolling the statue. The trial court was unimpressed by plaintiff's argument and granted the defense motion to dismiss on the ground that the amendment was not retroactive, on the authority of the Vega Case, hereafter cited. Plaintiff has appealed.
