Description
On September 6, 1987, a collision occurred between two motor boats on the Lake of the Ozarks in Camden County. One of the boats was operated by plaintiff Royce Muzingo, and plaintiff Diantha Muzingo, his wife, was a passenger in that boat. The other boat was operated by defendant Jeffrey Vaught. On September 3, 1992, the Muzingos filed suit against Vaught in the District Court of Wyandotte County, Kansas, for personal injuries and property damage allegedly resulting from Vaught's negligent operation of his boat. Vaught moved to dismiss the Kansas action on the ground that it was barred by the Kansas two-year statute of limitations for tort actions. On February 26, 1993, the district court dismissed the Kansas action as untimely filed. On September 24, 1993, on appeal by the Muzingos, the Court of Appeals of Kansas affirmed the dismissal. Muzingo v. Vaught, 18 Kan. App. 2d 823, 859 P.2d 977 (Kan.App. 1993). The court said that the ""sole issue on appeal"" was whether Kansas's two-year statute of limitations or Missouri's five-year statute of limitations, § 516.120, 1 applied to the action, and held that the Kansas statute applied.
