McGroarty v. Swearingen, No. 19-10537 (11th Cir. 2020)
Annotate this CaseThe Eleventh Circuit affirmed the district court's dismissal of plaintiff's 42 U.S.C. 1983 action alleging that defendant, in his official capacity as the Commissioner of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE), violated his constitutional rights by continuing to publish his personally identifiable information on FDLE's sex offender registry website even after plaintiff had completed probation and was no longer subject to Florida registration laws. The court held that, although plaintiff has not waived his continuing violation argument, his claims are time-barred because there was no continuing violation. Furthermore, Nichols v. United States, 136 S. Ct. 1113 (2016), does not affect the accrual of plaintiff's claims under Florida's statute of limitations.
