Kato 549 . 384 127 . 1091 166 973 2007 an arrestee brought an action under section 1983 alleging that city police detectives had unlawfully arrested him. Illinois did not recognize unlawful arrest as a tort so the Court looked to the state s statute of limitations for FALSE IMPRISONMENT. After concluding that the claim s limitations period would have expired under state law the Court ruled that the arrestee s claim had expired. The Supreme Court has also held that state tolling statutes which provide a plaintiff with an additional period of time in which to bring a lawsuit equal to the period of time in which the plaintiff was legally disabled apply to section 1983 cases Board of Regents v.

However in EMPLOYMENT LAW cases the Supreme Court has held that the cause of action accrues when the discriminatory act occurs Delaware State College v. Ricks 449 . 250 101 S. Ct. 498 66
