Chidi N. Anunka appeals from the district court’s 1 dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. *476 § 1983 action as time-barred. Having carefully reviewed the record and the parties’ briefs, we agree that the complaint was filed after the expiration of the applicable six-year limitations period, see Owens v. Okure, 488 U.S. 235, 249-50, 109 S.Ct. 573, 102 L.Ed.2d 594 (1989); Berg v. Groschen, 437 N.W.2d 75, 77 (Minn.Ct.App. 1989), and that the circumstances did not justify equitable tolling, see Wilson v. Garcia, 471 U.S. 261, 269, 105 S.Ct. 1938, 85 L.Ed.2d 254 (1985); Ochs v. Streater, Inc., 568 N.W.2d 858, 860 (Minn.Ct.App. 1997). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
