• holding that § 1983 illegal search and seizure claims accrue at the time of the search because Heck, supra, never barred plaintiff’s illegal search and seizure claim, thus making that claim stale under the statute of limitations
• noting that Heck should generally apply “when the concerns underlying Heck exist,” which include “those claims that would necessarily imply the invalidity of [the] conviction”
• noting that Heck should generally apply “when the concerns underlying Heck exist,” which include “those claims that would necessarily imply the invalidity of [the] conviction”
• noting that “[s]tate statutes of limitations applicable to general personal[-]injury claims supply the limitations periods for § 1983 claims,” and that, in Oklahoma, that statute of limitations is two years
• finding that, because plaintiff’s malicious prosecution claim “did not arise until the [criminal] charge was dismissed and [the] complaint was filed less than two years later, [it is] not barred by the statute of limitations”
