PER CURIAM.
In 1999, Rolf Rosendahl brought this
    42 U.S.C. § 1983
     action seeking
declaratory and injunctive relief in connection with his arrest and the forfeiture of his
property. The district court1 dismissed Rosendahl’s complaint prior to service of
process, and he appeals. Having carefully reviewed the record and Rosendahl’s
arguments on appeal, we agree with the district court that most of the claims involve
conduct that occurred between 1991 and 1993. To the extent they are not barred under
Heck v. Humphrey,
    512 U.S. 477
     (1994), these claims are time-barred. See Simmons
v. O’Brien,
    77 F.3d 1093
    , 1094-97 (8th Cir. 1996); Chandler v. Presiding Judge,
Calloway County,
    838 F.2d 977
    , 978-79 (8th Cir. 1988). The remainder of
Rosendahl’s complaint challenges judicial rulings in a state forfeiture action, with
which we will not interfere. See Charchenko v. City of Stillwater,
    47 F.3d 981
    , 983
(8th Cir. 1995).
Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
