Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM:
The parties were involved in a California automobile accident. Plaintiffs are citizens of Missouri and defendant is a citizen of California. California has a one year statute of limitations and Missouri has a five year statute. The district court has held the California statute applicable and rendered judgment for the defendant.
There is a good argument that the statute was tolled for 13 or 14 months, but thereafter there was a period of approximately 15 months until the suit was filed in California.
Under the California significant contacts approach, we find too little Missouri significant contacts and too many in California to apply the Missouri statute.
We find the laches point of appellant without merit.
Judgment affirmed.
