The appeals court agreed with the district court that Brison's civil rights complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 was barred by Massachusetts' three-year statute of limitations for personal injury actions.

    Raymond A. BRISON, Plaintiff, Appellant,
    v.
    MARSOLAIS, et al., Defendants, Appellees.
    No. 93-1119.

    United States Court of Appeals,


    First Circuit.
    July 7, 1993

    APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE


    DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS
    Raymond A. Brison on brief pro se.
    D.Mass.
    AFFIRMED.
    Before Selya, Boudin and Stahl, Circuit Judges.
    Per Curiam.

    We have carefully reviewed the appellant's brief and the record on appeal. We
    agree with the district court's conclusion that appellant's complaint is barred by
    Massachusetts' three-year statute of limitations on personal injury actions,
    Mass. Gen. L. ch. 260, 2A, which is applicable to civil rights complaints,
    filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 1983. Owens v. Okure, 488 U.S. 235 (1989); see
    also Street v. Vose, 936 F.2d 38 (1st Cir. 1991), cert. denied, 112 S. Ct. 948
    (1992). There is nothing in the record to suggest that that limitations period
    was, or ought to have been, tolled. The order of the district court dismissing the
    complaint is, therefore, affirmed.

    Affirmed.
