1Opinion of the CourtMeredith, J.
The question presented by this appeal is whether the applicable statute of limitations for a claim filed in Maryland pursuant to the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 (“TCPA”) is four years—based upon the federal “catch all” limitation period set forth in 28 U.S.C. § 1658(a)—or three years—based upon the Maryland general civil limitation period set forth in Maryland Code (1974, 2006 Repl.Vol.), Courts and Judicial Proceedings Article (“CJP”), § 5-101. We conclude that the four year limitation period imposed by 28 U.S.C. § 1658(a) applies to the present action.
