   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  10-2241
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Arnold and Shepherd, Circuit
   Judges]
   Civil case. In dispute alleging defendant's dike caused flooding on
   plaintiff's property, the district court did not err in finding that the claims
   were barred by the two-year statute of limitations contained in Minnesota
   Statutes Sec. 541.01, neither the fifteen-year period contained in Sec.
   541.02 nor the six-year period contained in Sec. 541.05 applied; district
   court did not err in finding the claims accrued in 2000 when the plaintiffs
   first experienced flooding from the dike; no exceptions tolled the
   limitations period; claim that the district court abused its discretion by
   denying plaintiff's motion to amend the complaint was moot in light of the
   court's holding on the statute of limitations issue.
