PER CURIAM: Graham Harry Schiff appeals the district court’s order dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint. Schiff filed his complaint in March 2023 raising claims for conduct that occurred in July 2019. Because Schiff knew of the alleged injury arising from the conduct when it occurred in 2019, his § 1983 claims were time-barred. Md. Code Ann., Cts. & Jud.

Proc. § 5-101 (2022); Nat’l Advert. Co. v. City of Raleigh, 947 F.2d 1158, 1161-62 (4th Cir. 1991). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. Schiff v. Clark-Edwards, No. 1:23-cv-00822-ELH (D. Md. Apr. 11, 2023); see Earle v. Schreves, 990 F.3d 774, 781 n.3 (4th Cir. 2021) (recognizing that we may “affirm a judgment for any reason appearing on the record”). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
