Shane Willis v. City of Salem, Oregon

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Oregon state prisoner Shane D. Willis appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing as time-barred his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint alleging constitutional violations arising from a traffic stop. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo, Douglas v. Noelle, 567 F.3d 1103, 1106 (9th Cir. 2009), and we affirm.

The district court properly dismissed Willis’s action as time-barred. See Or. *728 Rev.Stat. § 12.110(1) (two-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims); Douglas, 567 F.3d at 1109 (for § 1983 claims, courts apply the forum state’s statute of limitations for personal injury claims); see also Wallace v. Kato, 549 U.S. 384, 391, 127 S.Ct. 1091, 166 L.Ed.2d 973 (2007) (“The cause of action accrues even though the full extent of the injury is not then known or predictable.” (citation and internal quotation marks omitted)).

Willis’s remaining contentions, including those contained in his letter received on August 29, 2011, are unpersuasive.

AFFIRMED.
