Craig McKinney v. Rick Martinez

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
Craig McKinney v. Rick Martinez, 700 F. App'x 729 (9th Cir. 2017)

Craig McKinney v. Rick Martinez

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Craig Bruce McKinney appeals pro se from the district court’s dismissal of his action alleging Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (“RICO”) and state law claims. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo. Resnick v. Hayes, 213 F.3d 443, 447 (9th Cir. 2000) (dismissal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A); Jones v. Blanas, 393 F.3d 918, 926 (9th Cir. 2004) (dismissal based on the applicable statute of limitations). We affirm.

The district court properly dismissed McKinney’s action as time-barred because McKinney failed to file his action within the applicable statute of limitations. See Pincay v. Andrews, 238 F.3d 1106, 1108-09 (9th Cir. 2001) (civil RICO claims have a four-year statute of limitations, which begins to run when a plaintiff knows or should have known of the injury underlying the action); Grimmett v. Brown, 75 F.3d 506, 515-16 (9th Cir. 1996) (civil RICO claims were not tolled during the pendency of a prior judicial action because the prior judicial action was not a perquisite to review in federal court).

We do not consider documents and facts not presented to the district court. See United States v. Elias, 921 F.2d 870, 874 (9th Cir. 1990) (“Documents or facts not presented to the district court are not part of the record on appeal.”).

AFFIRMED.
