PER CURIAM:
After review and oral argument before this Court, we conclude that Plaintiff-
Appellant Johnny Ward Putnam has shown no reversible error in the district
court’s order, dated 27 May 2011, granting summary judgment in favor of
Defendant-Appellee Bayer Corporation on all of Putnam’s claims, based on
Mississippi’s statutes of limitation.
The district court did not err in finding that, as a matter of law, Putnam
failed to show that the relevant Mississippi limitation periods were tolled based on
theories of fraudulent concealment and/or discovery of latent injury.
AFFIRMED.
