Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington D.C. No. 3:22-cv-05217-RSM Ricardo S. Martinez, District Judge, Presiding
Before: SCHROEDER, VANDYKE, and KOH, Circuit Judges.
MEMORANDUM [*]
Donald L. Calvin, a Washington state prisoner, appeals pro se from the district court's judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging various claims. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a dismissal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A. Wilhelm v. Rotman, 680 F.3d 1113, 1118 (9th Cir. 2012). We vacate and remand.
The district court dismissed Calvin's action as barred by the applicable statute of limitations. However, some of Calvin's allegations relating to prison officials' refusal to release him from disciplinary confinement for several months appear to have taken place less than three years before Calvin filed the complaint. See Boston v. Kitsap County, 852 F.3d 1182, 1185 (9th Cir. 2017) (under Washington law, a three-year statute of limitations applies to § 1983 actions). Because some of Calvin's action appears to be timely, we vacate the district court's judgment and remand for further proceedings, including leave to file an amended complaint.
The motion for a stay of appellate proceedings (Docket Entry No. 40) is denied.
VACATED and REMANDED.
