Michael GOLDBERG, Appellant, v. BEKINS MOVING & STORAGE COMPANY, a corporation; Bekins Van Lines Company, a corporation; Transport Indemnity Company, a corporation; City of Jacksonville, a municipal corporation; and the Travelers Insurance Company, a corporation, Appellees.
    No. AL-98.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    Dec. 14, 1982.
    Jack F. Wayman, Jacksonville, P.A., for appellant.
    Mattox S. Hair of Marks, Gray, Conroy & Gibbs, Jacksonville, for appellees.
   MILLS, Judge.

Goldberg appeals a summary judgment in favor of the consolidated City of Jacksonville and its insurer. We affirm.

Section 768.28(6), Florida Statutes (1981), establishes a three-year limitations period for written notice of claims against a municipality. Showell Industries v. Holmes County, 409 So.2d 78 (Fla. 1st DCA 1982). Section 205 of the Soldiers and Sailors Civil Relief Act (50 U.S.C.App. § 525) tolls limitation periods until discharge from service. It is undisputed that the cause of action arose 11 August 1976. Goldberg was discharged 10 October 1977 and filed his written notice 5 November 1980.

There being no disputed issue of material fact, summary judgment was appropriate and is

AFFIRMED.
