Appellant's Statement of the Issues: A person may file a civil action not later than the second year after the termination of an alleged discriminatory housing practice.

Had the discriminatory housing practice terminated more than two years prior to Johnson's complaint being filed? Supplemental Appellant's Brief Issue The district court's order of dismissal without prejudice is appealable. Appellee's Statement of the Issues: Does the two-year statute of limitations period provided for in N.D.C.C. 14-02.5-39(1) (2008) begin when the last Certificate of Occupancy is issued? Appellee's Statement of the Issues: An aggrieved person may file a civil action in district court not later than the second year after the date of the occurrence or the termination of an alleged discriminatory housing practice.
