DAVID JAMES DODD, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. UNKNOWN PARTIES, C.O. and C.O. II; et al., Defendants - Appellees.
NOT FOR PUBLICATION
MEMORANDUM
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the District of Arizona
Robert C. Broomfield, District Judge, Presiding
Before: LEAVY, PAEZ, and BEA, Circuit Judges.
David James Dodd, an Arizona state prisoner, appeals pro se from the district court's order dismissing as time-barred his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging deliberate indifference to his safety. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo, Jones v. Blanas, 393 F.3d 918, 926 (9th Cir. 2004), and we affirm.
The district court properly dismissed Dodd's claims as time-barred because the claims accrued more than four years before Dodd filed his complaint. See id. at 927 (for § 1983 claims, the courts apply the forum state's statute of limitations for personal injury claims); Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 12-542(1) (two-year statute of limitations for personal injury actions).
Dodd's remaining contentions are unpersuasive.
AFFIRMED.
