Finnell v. Virginia
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit
Finnell v. Virginia, 48 F. App'x 473 (4th Cir. 2002)
Finnell v. Virginia
Opinion of the Court
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, 114 S.Ct. 2364, 129 L.Ed.2d 383 (1994). We also find the action barred by the statute of limitations. Wilson v. Garcia, 471 U.S. 261, 105 S.Ct. 1938, 85 L.Ed.2d 254 (1985). Accordingly,
AFFIRMED.
