Appeal from the United States District Court

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.
