Opinion of the Court

MEMORANDUM **

Hawaii state prisoner Gerald M. Villanueva appeals pro se the district court’s judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action as barred by the statute of limitations. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo, Fink v. Shedler, 192 F.3d 911, 913-14 (9th Cir. 1999), and we affirm.

Villanueva contends the district court should have tolled the statute of limitations pursuant to Haw.Rev.Stat. §§ 657-13, 657-34 because he is incarcerated. We disagree.

*394We affirm for the reasons stated in the district court’s order entered on December 20, 2002.

AFFIRMED.
