Monroe v. Conner

Anthony Monroe was physically attacked by three Louisiana State Police Troops during a routine traffic stop in Bossier Parish. The beating was so severe that Monroe suffered a heart attack and other life-threatening injuries. He filed his lawsuit one year and 11 months after the incident. 

But due to Louisiana's incredibly short statute of limitations for civil rights lawsuits, Monroe's suit was dismissed. IJ has filed an amicus brief encouraging the United States Supreme Court to hear this case and address this issue.
