PER CURIAM:* The district court did not abuse its discretion by sua sponte dismissing David C. Degrate's 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint as time-barred pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(d). Ancar v. Sara Plasma, Inc., 964 F.2d 465, 468 (5th Cir. 1992); Burrell v. Newsome, 883 F.2d 416, 418, 422 (5th Cir. 1989).

Degrate's motions to reinstate the case, add new claims, and for a change of venue are DENIED.

AFFIRMED.

* Local Rule 47.5 provides: "The publication of opinions that have no precedential value and merely decide particular cases on the basis of well-settled principles of law imposes needless expense on the public and burdens on the legal profession." Pursuant to that Rule, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published.
