No. 88-15784.

MEMORANDUM**

Goodson appeals the dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 claim. The district court dismissed the action because the statute of limitation had expired. Under Arizona law, the limitation period for a personal injury action is two years. Wilson v. Garcia, 471 U.S. 261, 275 (1985). Goodson sued in 1988, four years after the injury. His suit is barred. We AFFIRM.

The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. Fed.R.App.P. 34(a); Ninth Circuit Rule 34-4

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3
