Gray v. Arkansas Department of Human Services
Opinion
Chrystal Gray appeals the district court’s 1 dismissal of her complaint as time-barred. Having carefully reviewed the record and the parties’ arguments on appeal, we conclude that Gray’s complaint did not relate back to a pleading- she filed in a separate lawsuit and that her claims were barred under the applicable statute of limitations. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 15(c) (providing for relation back under certain circumstances involving amendment of original pleading); Smithrud v. City of St. Paul, 746 F.3d 391, 395 (8th Cir.) (dismissal based on statute of limitations is reviewed de novo), cert. denied, - U.S. -, 135 S.Ct. 361, 190 L.Ed.2d 251 (2014).
Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
. The Honorable James M. Moody, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas, now retired.
