     Citing Bradbury v. City of Eastport, 2013 ME 72, ¶ 11 n.3, 72 A.3d 512, the court determined that the
statutory limitation period runs from the date of service of the challenged pleading. Because the Town’s
amended complaint included no additional facts, the court further concluded that the amended complaint
“related back” to the original pleading with a date of service of August 13, 2010, pursuant to M.R. Civ. P.
15(c)(2). By this reasoning, the Cayers’ special motion to dismiss was filed over a year and a half outside
of the time limitation.
