Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

David Rive-Rivera with whom Vargas & Rive, Hato Rey, P.R., was on brief, for plaintiff, appellant.

Steven W. Phillips with whom Donald R. Ware, Foley, Hoag & Eliot, Boston, Mass., Charles P. Adams and Brown, Newsom & Cordova, Hato Rey, P.R., were on brief, for defendants, appellees.

Before BREYER and TORRUELLA, Circuit Judges, and CAFFREY, Senior District Judge.


CAFFREY, Senior District Judge.

We are called upon, in this appeal, to address two related issues: whether the District Court properly dismissed the plaintiff-appellant's complaint, and whether, under Puerto Rico law, the plaintiff-appellant's complaint is time-barred. Resolving the first issue requires discussion of the second, and we begin with a brief review of the facts.
