   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Bye and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Mirapex Products Liability Litigation. Plaintiff's decedent was on notice of his injury and of the causal link between compulsive gambling and Mirapex no later than 2005, and the district court did not err in finding the claims in this action were barred by the applicable statute of limitations; arguments that the statute should be tolled under the continuing tort doctrine, the open courts provision of the Texas constitution, the ripeness doctrine or the decedent's alleged mental disability are all rejected; with respect to plaintiff's warranty claim, the court did not err in finding plaintiff's decedent had not satisfied the requirement that purchasers give notice of the breach of warranty claim prior to filing suit.
