MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
JOHNSON, District Judge.
Earl Abraham Hyatt (“plaintiff’) has brought this action against the United States of America (“government” or “defendant”) pursuant to the Federal Tort Claims Act for false arrest, false imprisonment, malicious prosecution, negligence, and gross negligence. A bench trial was conducted on June 10 and 11, 1996. In addition to arguing that plaintiff failed to establish his cause of action at trial, the government moved to dismiss the complaint as time-barred. The Court reserved decision on that motion, as well as on the merits of the case.
