Kahn v. Chase Manhattan Bank, NA, 91 F. 3d 385 - Court of Appeals, 2nd Circuit 1996

Plaintiffs appeal from an order of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (McKenna, J.) denying their motion for leave to amend their complaint to add additional plaintiffs. The district court found that the claims of the additional plaintiffs did not relate back to the date of the filing of the complaint pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 15(c) and therefore that the claims of the additional plaintiffs were time-barred under the applicable statutes of limitations. For the reasons set forth below, we dismiss the appeal
