Order

Prince Foryoh alleges that on July 10, 2001, police stopped his car without reason, ordered him out, searched the car, and arrested him using excessive force. He was released a few hours later. Criminal charges were filed but dismissed. On May 18, 2005, Foryoh filed this suit under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against Regina Hannah-Porter, one of the arresting officers. The district court held that the suit is untimely and granted judgment in defendant’s favor.

*535 Foryoh’s claim for wrongful arrest accrued when he was released from custody on July 10, 2001. See Wallace v. Koto, — U.S. -, 127 S.Ct. 1091, — L.Ed.2d - (2007). Claims based on excessive force and unlawful search accrued a few hours earlier the same day, as soon as Foryoh sustained injury from these wrongs. See Copus v. Edgerton, 151 F.3d 646 (7th Cir. 1998); Gonzalez v. Entress, 133 F.3d 551 (7th Cir. 1998). Foryoh did not file suit until almost four years later. Although he maintains that this court should use the five-year residual statute of limitations under Illinois law, see 735 ILCS 5/13-205, we have held that the limit for § 1983 claims in Illinois is two years, not five. See Savory v. Lyons, 469 F.3d 667, 672 (7th Cir. 2006); Kalimara v. Illinois Department of Corrections, 879 F.2d 276 (7th Cir. 1989). We see no reason to overrule those decisions.

Affirmed.
