 Case: 15-60308 Document: 00513253320 Page: 1 Date Filed: 10/30/2015
No. 15-60308

2

by the Mississippi one-year statute of limitations, of his action against the 

defendant governmental units for placing an allegedly unjust cloud on his 

property. In a short but sufficiently explanatory order, the district court determined that “Alexander has not alleged continual unlawful acts” but only 

ongoing injury. It is the acts, however, and not the injury, that triggered the 

running of limitations.

AFFIRMED.
