The Fifth Circuit held that the statute of limitations for an ERISA § 502(c)(1) claim—a claim for penalties for failure to provide certain documents within thirty days of a written request—was subject to a one-year statute of limitations.  In so holding, the Court borrowed the statute of limitations from the Louisiana Civil Code for claims alleging a violation of a general duty owed, and rejected plaintiff’s argument in favor of the ten-year breach of contract statute of limitations. Accordingly, the Court ruled that the claim expired one year and thirty days from the date of the request for documents. The case is Babin v. Quality Energy Servs., Inc., No. 17-civ-30059, 2017 WL 6374738 (5th Cir. Dec. 14, 2017).
