Johnny F. Harris v. Tommy Baker, Former Employee, Arkansas State Police, Central Intelligence Division

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Johnny F. Harris filed a complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 alleging that the defendant, Tommy Baker, while employed with the Arkansas State Police, made false statements to a state judge in his application for a search warrant. Execution of the warrant allegedly produced evidence which led to Harris’s conviction.

The District Court 1 dismissed the complaint on the ground that Harris’s claim was barred by the applicable statute of limitations, Ark.Stat.Ann. § 37-206 (Repl. 1962). We affirm on the basis of the District Court opinion. See Eighth Circuit Rule 14.
