Opinion

July 7, 1993 [NOT FOR PUBLICATION] UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIRST CIRCUIT

No. 93-1119 RAYMOND A. BRISON, Plaintiff, Appellant, v. MARSOLAIS, ET AL., Defendants, Appellees.

APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS [Hon. Rya W. Zobel, U.S. District Judge]

Before Selya, Boudin and Stahl, Circuit Judges.

Raymond A. Brison on brief pro se.

Per Curiam. We have carefully reviewed the

appellant's brief and the record on appeal. We agree with the district court's conclusion that appellant's complaint is barred by Massachusetts' three-year statute of limitations on personal injury actions, Mass. Gen. L. ch. 260, 2A, which is applicable to civil rights complaints, filed pursuant to U.S.C. 1983. Owens v. Okure, 488 U.S. 235 (1989); see

also Street v. Vose, 936 F.2d 38 (1st Cir. 1991), cert.

denied, 112 S. Ct. 948 (1992). There is nothing in the

record to suggest that that limitations period was, or ought to have been, tolled. The order of the district court dismissing the complaint is, therefore, affirmed.

Affirmed.
