United States Court of Appeals FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT ___________ No. 99-2279 ___________ Jimmy L. Nolen, * * Appellant, * Appeal from the United States * District Court for the Western v. * District of Arkansas. * Georgia Pacific Corporation, * [UNPUBLISHED] * Appellee. ___________ Submitted: May 22, 2000 Filed: May 25, 2000 ___________ Before LOKEN, FAGG, and HANSEN, Circuit Judges. ___________ PER CURIAM.

In this diversity action, Jimmy L. Nolen appeals the district court's dismissal of Nolen's wrongful-discharge suit as time-barred under the Arkansas Civil Rights Act, Ark. Code Ann. § 16-123-101 to 108 (Lexis Supp. 1999). Having reviewed the record and the parties' briefs, we agree with the district court that Nolen failed to file within the applicable limitations period and did not present facts justifying application of equitable tolling or equitable estoppel. We thus affirm for the reasons stated in the district court's order. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
