Opinion

July 7, 1993 [NOT FOR PUBLICATION]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.
