Soest v. Mojave Air and Space Port CA5
Appellant, Ernest Dean Soest, filed a complaint on August 27, 2015, alleging causes of action for false arrest, false imprisonment, and violation of civil rights against respondents, Mojave Air and Space Port (MASP), and two MASP employees, Stuart Witt and Kevin Wojkiewicz. According to appellant, on September 10, 2013, respondents wrongfully caused the county sheriff to arrest appellant and take him into custody. Appellant asserts that respondents falsely accused appellant of taking an aircraft without the owner’s consent in violation of Penal Code section 499d. Respondents demurred to the complaint. The trial court sustained the general demurrer to the complaint on the ground that appellant failed to allege compliance with the California Tort Claims Act. The trial court sustained the demurrer without leave to amend to the causes of action for false imprisonment and false arrest on the ground that the statute of limitations barred those two causes of action.
