[NOT FOR PUBLICATION]
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FIRST CIRCUIT
No. 93-1119
RAYMOND A. BRISON,
Plaintiff, Appellant,
v.
MARSOLAIS, ET AL.,
Defendants, Appellees.
APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS
[Hon. Rya W. Zobel, U.S. District Judge]
Before
Selya, Boudin and Stahl,
Circuit Judges.
Raymond A. Brison on brief pro se.
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.
