Therefore, as his claim was filed well after the standard two-year limitations period for such claims had expired, the trial court properly dismissed the claim. Whiteside v. Hover-Davis, Inc., 2021 U.S. App. LEXIS 12415 (2d Cir. Apr. 27, 2021). In so ruling, the Second Circuit resolved a split within its own district courts and joined with the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals in an existing circuit court split with the Tenth Circuit. The Second Circuit has jurisdiction over federal courts in New York, Connecticut, and Vermont.
