UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 02-7119
ALFRED WAYNE FINNELL,
Plaintiff - Appellant,
versus
COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA; JUVENILE & DOMESTIC RELATIONS COURT, Nineteenth Judicial District, Fairfax County, Virginia,
Defendants - Appellees.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Alexandria. T. S. Ellis, III, District Judge. (CA-02-664-AM)
Submitted: October 10, 2002 Decided: October 21, 2002
Before WILLIAMS, KING, and GREGORY, Circuit Judges.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Alfred Wayne Finnell, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:
Alfred Wayne Finnell appeals the district court’s order
summarily dismissing his
42 U.S.C. § 1983(2000) action. We have
reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no
reversible error. Insofar as Finnell is attempting to challenge his
federal conviction, we find it barred by the rule announced in Heck
v. Humphrey,
512 U.S. 477(1994). We also find the action barred by
the statute of limitations. Wilson v. Garcia,
471 U.S. 261(1985).
Accordingly, we affirm. We dispense with oral argument because the
facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the
materials before the court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
AFFIRMED
