U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit · Decided July 1, 2011 · Tjoflat, Edmondson, Kravitch
433 F. App'x 716

Chaufournier v. Carnival Corp.

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

The district court dismissed plaintiffs claim because plaintiff failed to file this action within the one-year limitations period provided in her passenger ticket contract with the defendant. In dismissing her claim, the court rejected plaintiffs argument that the limitations period should be equitably tolled. Plaintiff appeals the dismissal, arguing that the district court failed properly to apply our decision in Booth v. Carnival Corporation, 522 F.3d 1148 (11th Cir. 2008), to the facts in this case. We disagree; the district court properly applied the law of equitable tolling to the facts at hand. Its judgement is therefore

AFFIRMED.
