Pamela Suzanne Harnden v. St. Clair County, Michigan, et al.
DueProcess FourthAmendment
Do the 5th and 14th Amendments justify the tolling of a civil action during the course of a criminal action?
QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Do the 5 and 14t Amendments justify the tolling of a civil action during the course of a criminal action? 2. As kidnapping does not have a federal statute for a private right to civil action despite there being a federal criminal statute and since the criminal statute confers a right to a private citizen and not a specific group, does this give rise to the creation of an implied private right to action? 3. If the answer to Question 2 is yes, then does the statute of limitations applied to the criminal action transfer to the implied civil action? i
