MEMORANDUM *

Manuel Rodriguez Hidalgo (“Hidalgo”) 1 brought this action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against Robert Perez, Kenneth Badgley, Earl Tilly, and the City of Wenatchee (among others) (“Defendants”). He also alleged various Washington state law causes of action. Hidalgo brought suit after the Washington Court of Appeals reversed his conviction for child molestation, alleging that Defendants violated his constitutional rights by causing him to be convicted based on false evidence. 2 After trial, a jury returned a verdict in favor of Defendant Perez. Hidalgo appeals, contending that the district court gave an erroneous jury instruction, erred in dismissing his state law claims on statute of limitations grounds, and in dismissing his § 1983 claim against Defendant Badgley on the basis of qualified immunity.
