OPINION OF THE COURT
SCIRICA, Circuit Judge.
This is an appeal, from an order of the district court granting the defendants’ motion for summary judgment pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 56. The district court found that the plaintiff’s tort claim was barred by the Virgin Island’s two year statute of limitations. For reasons that follow, we conclude that a material question of fact exists with regard to the date plaintiff knew or should have known that he had contracted an asbestos-related disease. Accordingly, we will reverse the grant of summary judgment and remand to the district court.
