irving pattern of unlawful can't conduct by the cathedral city police department the district court mean two crucial errors in dismissing the complaint with prejudice first it applied the wrong standard to appellants first amendment retaliation claim finding that because the appellant discovered the fabricated records in two thousand and twelve his speech could not have been chilled in two thousand and eight but the standard is objective not subjective ok maybe expedite matters  assuming you're right about that and other things it seems to me of a very difficult stretch of limitations problem not i mean that the district court said otherwise but that is my main concern right and i not i don't know but under california under federal law my understanding is is the injury right and not the mens rea as it goes with the injury i would say that he or the the act of fabricating these records constitutes both an injury as a separate in terms of the creation of these false records that then motivated and that gave the police they're not the motivation itself the motivation was apparently and there's a myth one means in which they carried out the motivation right and then they arrested him and i don't even get the connection between that me arrest anyway i  that standing alone the creation of a criminal record attributing a misdemeanor child annoyance claim to the appalling here is itself under water and carter is itself  somehow it from two thousand and eight two thousand and nine to two thousand and twelve and what judge prison is trying to have you concentrate on if we look at luke over coffee ski versus san francisco it said the claim of cruise when the player knows or has reason to know of the injury which is the basis of the action not when the plane of suspects a legal wrong it seems to me the plane of newark had reason to know of these injuries when they happened well to that he didn't he didn't have to know there was a legal wrong he knew when they happen at that point he has a duty to go forward and find out if it's a legal wrong or if it isn't and to file a claim or not and he doesn't file until two thousand and twelve so you did so therefore how why is it th was not aware that the police fabricated this criminal history that could then be used as probable cause to arrest him or pursue him in various ways and as long as one independent discreet to tell your retaliatory act is not from conjugal visits with his wife constituted a first amendment violation of his ability to marry and father children in that case he had to discrete acts that he claimed violated the first  amendment the first was in two thousand and two when his request to have a conjugal visit with his first wife was denied and the second was in two thousand and eight when his request to have a controversy with his second wife was denied the latter act fell within the statute of limitations and the did not and the court there held that because this discrete injury had taken place in two thousand and eight the entire first amendment claim should survive including the two thousand and two but here nothing happened within the separately but how can that be said if you didn't know about it how could it a reasonable person be to person their first amendment rights by some theater know about i think this goes to the subjective objective issue and this court held in least the versus maric county that the issue is now is not whether an appellant speech was actually chilled or suppressed no i understand that but but nobody would be deterred by some secret act that they didn't know about them if they were aware of the fact if they did know of the act how could it deter them i think here under the objective standard the hypothetical person of ordinary firmness would be for protected speech and here i think there's an analogy to title seven retaliation claims where an employer can retaliate against an employee for protected speech by filing something in their record that could complaint mr whiting address is equitable tolling in freud ulan concealment in paragraph sixteen what would he say in an amended pleading on complications or some disputes of facts surrounding when he actually found out i think he might be able to if he has knowledge of other facts other harassment might be able to plea to continuing violation there i'm not sure you know he demonstrated that he was or at least he should have been aware of some report or some problem because he says in his request for public records dated june eleventh two thousand nine and i read that he says his request was the result of recent instance which can which conclude and ongoing cathedral city park police department retaliat conspiracy to force widening i'm just putting whiting in there to leave the city to plus obliquely influence and tape the minds of future jurors who may end up hearing my civil law suit and to cause me severe physical mental and or bodily injury seems to me that one statement in that jude law june eleventh two thousand and nine letter at the very least demonstrates he should have been or he was on notice that there was a big wardley illegal arrest and surveillance i do think the july eleventh two thousand and nine letter does not however contain any indication that he was aware that reports were fabricated painting him with this new retaliatory act or he does talk about her retaliatory conspiracy to force and he does talk about the result of the recent incidents so when i see no knows or has reason to know of the injury and not the legal wrong i'm trying to figure out how that would say well i think given the confusion in the complaint to the task force the complaint first and foremost i think the court should be reviewing all of these allegations in its favor and the having liberally in his favor as a profile again but again i think the issue here is that he wasn't aware of one specific fact which is something occurred in two thousand and eight that rick that in response to his protected speech that then gave the police and so on if they can do it i mean it if they didn't they never brought up this when they were trying when he was complaining about the arrests without  tell harass him without basis which she says they did then they don't need these pieces of paper to do it and they didn't even rely on the pieces of paper when they did well he alleges that when they created them they created them as liability preventers are essentially liability insurance paragraph number thirty two on or about the dates of august two thousand and eight in august ninth two thousand and two defendants use fictitious statements for a nonexistent child victim and her mother who intentionally fabricate and concoct a false police report well it's an allegation but didn't have any basis for thinking that it's this report that says it's on two thousand and six was actually written in two thousand and eight there's no basis for thinking that i suppose that could be a subject of an amendment but there  i think there's a couple of things that we keep in mind here and that's that the complaint to survive dismissal has to contain enough facts to state a claim for relief that's plausible on its face and you're not required to accept as true the allegations attached to the complaint that contradict the cut allegations in the complaint and that's what the plaintiff has done here now i've i've said in the motions to dismiss as well as in the appeal that  there's always been a statue of limitations issue with regard to this false arrest claim plaintiffs i think the court is right on i mean that's certainly true  court construe one of the claims as a fourth amendment claim which it was not in the initial pleadings into the extent that they want to construe that as a fourth amendment claim it as well be on the statue limitations  in protective from continuing to engage in protective of protected activity in this case the plaintiff already engaged in protected activity his claim is that he found out later that there was this what he calls a criminal investigation a criminal filing but in reality this was just a an investigation of child annoyance so there's there's it's pure speculation that this was created in two thousand and eight there are no factual no facts to support that this report did not come from two thousand and six like it says on the report itself and even if it did come in two thousand and eight it still wouldn't have chilled his speech because limitations anything prior to december of two thousand and ten is beyond the statue of limitations because plaintiff's complaint wasn't filed until december of two thousand and twelve i mean just to see if i can put the plaintiff the way that i understand his being argued with regard to limitations periods that essentially there would be an equitable stoppel because i mean leaving aside the cruel question if in fact there was this fabrication then it and it was hidden then it prevented him from finding out that this staffer cation occurred and that the fabrication was somehow integral to the plan to retaliate so that without knowing about the that his fight that that the false arrest was the constitutional violation there are no other constitutional violations or even possible constitutional violations alleged except that the false arrest occurred while she is now saying that having this record was itself a constitutional violation because it it came out it would have bad consequences for him down the line well i think i would i would agree that that would be a deterred by the fear of retaliation isn't that virtually always the case i don't know that that's always the case but well they've asserted a claim of retaliation so they're obviously not that chilled i would agree with that everything let me let me i don't know whether joe dumars i got an answer but i would like to hear your answer to the question of if this panel were to affirm on the basis of the statute of limitations should mr whiting given his pro se status because to leave to amend  to either allege additional facts relative to the statue limitations or lay out an equitable stoppel or fraudulent concealment claim well your honor i don't i don't believe he should be given why not because he was already given leave to amend and in fact he was given an opportunity when his complaint was dismissed without leave in that respect it's true though he was not on notice or why not give him a chance to a man i certainly  absolutely the case that he should be a hoarder you should have notice of the statue limitations deficiency and he was didn't have any notice there of and what if he now does have notice and now we're sending it back because you win on the statute limitations shouldn't he have the chance to amanda at least with no notice well i mean i would disagree how do you how do you how do you read flowers first is first to why in bank if you don't believe that i should least send him back with some notice you know i don't believe that he didn't have notice of the statue limitations if you get well what do you know how did he have noticed the district court said fine i think what the district court said was that if it had to rule on a statute of limitations issue it had a belief that that was a factual problem i don't believe it was a factual problem based on the pla i guess i'm worried if i read lukas first in an apartment a corrections which i think is a pretty important case sixty six fed third to forty five it says unless it is absolutely clear that i mean that's the worry that i have even if you win on the statue of a day i understand that you know i just i mean i'm not talking on behalf of the appellant so i don't know that there's any way he could amend to fix the problems that i don't understand that and i think that there was the issue and you raised it your honor about the the june eleventh two thousand and one letter and in fact the june eleventh two thousand and nine letter does give an indication that he was aware of the  two thousand and six police report because he references the alias of tim white the only time the alias of ten white is ever used is in that two thousand and six police report well that's why i think the statute of limitations is a pretty good defense for you even though the district court didn't say that i mean that's why i had counsel tell me about that but none the less if it guys in front of me and i said and i don't tell him the statue of limitations  problem and now he's a pro se litigant and now i'm going to say yeah it's a problem and you're out it seems to me based on our case law i should give a chance to fix it if he can i'm not sure he can but at least fix it if you can i understand your concern and and i would agree that if there were something that could be done to fix it that he should be given that option i just don't see considering it's thank anything prior to two thousand  you're honest i have i still have one minute so i will make this short but to focus on two points you raised the first is that under the doctrine of equitable stoppel a police here should not be able to make the statute of limitations argument and i have a question why did how did they conceal anything and other words i my understanding is that the whole point of this record is that it was a successful record right i mean did they hide the records someplace or are you say what they did was that they fabricated it they certainly had that they fabricated it but also most people don't show up at police departments asking to see most of them don't push people who are having a fight with the police department  well might write i think regardless of whether it's available upon request the existence of this record and the and the fraudulent way in which it was produced and then the way it was concealed and the way it was used as sort of liability representing this person that is we appreciated ferry much on our cork part of our court thank you
