MEMORANDUM **

Robert C. Denham, Jr., appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action challenging his 1973 state conviction for second degree assault. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo the district court’s dismissal based on the applicable statute of limitations. Fink v. She *529 dler, 192 F.3d 911, 913-14 (9th Cir. 1999). We affirm.

The district court properly dismissed Denham’s action as barred by the applicable three-year statute of limitations. See Wash. Rev. Code § 4.16.080 (three-year statute of limitations for personal injury actions); Bagley v. CMC Real Estate Corp., 923 F.2d 758, 761-62 (9th Cir. 1991) (a § 1983 claim accrues when the plaintiff knows or has reason to know of the injury that forms the basis of the action).

The district court did not abuse its discretion in taking judicial notice of the state court documents from Denham’s criminal ease. See Lee v. City of Los Angeles, 250 F.3d 668, 688-90 (9th Cir. 2001) (setting forth standard of review).

AFFIRMED.
