PER CURIAM:* Gary Wright appeals from the dismissal of his civil rights complaint brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 as barred by the applicable two-year statute of limitations.

Pursuant to Local Rule 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in Local Rule 47.5.4.
