Gretchen Schulze v. Cindy Maglasang

MEMORANDUM

Gretchen V. Schulze and Michael F. Schulze appeal pro se from the district court’s summary judgment in their action under Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Federal Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 , 91 S.Ct. 1999 , 29 L.Ed.2d 619 (1971), alleging that defendants conspired to present false evidence at Mr. Schulze’s criminal forfeiture trial and disclosed to the press evidence falsely implicating Ms. Schulze. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 . We review de novo summary judgment, Barnett v. Centoni, 31 F.3d 813, 815 (9th Cir.1994) (per curiam), and for abuse of discretion the denial of a request to modify a scheduling order, Zivkovic v. S. Cal. Edison Co., 302 F.3d 1080, 1087 (9th Cir.2002), and we affirm.

The district court properly granted summary judgment for defendants on Ms. Schulze’s claims because they are time-barred and not subject to equitable tolling. See Haw. Rev. Stat. § 657-7 (two-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims); Van Strum v. Lawn, 940 F.2d 406, 408-10 (9th Cir.1991) (explaining that the forum state’s personal injury statute of limitations applies in Bivens actions); Fink v. Shedler, 192 F.3d 911, 914 (9th Cir.1999)…
