Azewen-Jik Kante v. Nike, Inc.
Opinion
MEMORANDUM **
Azewen-Jik Kante appeals pro se from the district court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of Nike, Inc. on statute of limitation grounds. We review a district court’s grant of summary judgment on statute of limitation grounds de novo. Sea Hawk Seafoods, Inc. v. Locke, 568 F.3d 757, 764 (9th Cir. 2009). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We affirm.
The facts of this case are known to the parties. We do not repeat them.
The most favorable limitations period for each of these claims is six years. 1 See Everman v. Lockwood, 144 Or.App. 28, 925 P.2d 128, 129-30 (1996) (conversion); Jaqua v. Nike, Inc., 125 Or.App. 294, 865 P.2d 442, 446 (1993) (implied in law contracts). Construing the facts in the light most favorable to Kante, she became aware of Nike’s alleged breach and conversion by July 2001 at the latest. She filed suit in September 2007.
Kante also does not make a valid fraudulent concealment claim that would allow *389 tolling of the limitation period. See Chaney v. Fields Chevrolet Co., 264 Or. 21, 503 P.2d 1239, 1241 (1972) (requiring wrongful concealment of material facts actually preventing plaintiffs discovery of the wrong committed).
AFFIRMED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
. Nike contends that the correct limitation period is three years under the Oregon Trade Secrets Act. As Kante would fail to meet even the more favorable six-year limitation period, the court does not need to decide which period applies.
