                                for the Southern District of Florida
                                  ________________________
                                         (April 24, 2012)

Before HULL and COX, Circuit Judges, and BOWEN,* District Judge.

         *
         The Honorable Dudley H. Bowen, Jr., United States District Judge for the Southern
District of Georgia, sitting by designation.
PER CURIAM:

      After review and oral argument before this Court, we conclude that Plaintiff-

Appellant Johnny Ward Putnam has shown no reversible error in the district

court’s order, dated 27 May 2011, granting summary judgment in favor of

Defendant-Appellee Bayer Corporation on all of Putnam’s claims, based on

Mississippi’s statutes of limitation.

      The district court did not err in finding that, as a matter of law, Putnam

failed to show that the relevant Mississippi limitation periods were tolled based on

theories of fraudulent concealment and/or discovery of latent injury.

      AFFIRMED.

                                          2
