and
Carol Minakami, et al., Respondent-Appellee.

No. 91-35024.

United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.

Submitted March 6, 1992.*
Decided March 10, 1992.

Before EUGENE A. WRIGHT and ALARCON, Circuit Judges, and DAVIES,** CC ORDER

To the extent Cornethan seeks habeas corpus relief as an original matter in this court, we dismiss for lack of jurisdiction. 28 U.S.C. § 2241, 2253; Parker v. Sigler, 419 F.2d 827 (8th Cir.1969).

To the extent Cornethan appeals the district court's dismissal of his § 1983 claim, we agree with Judge Sweigert and Judge Dimmick that the statute of limitations bars his claim.

Lacking a basis in law or fact, this appeal is frivolous. See Jackson v. Arizona, 885 F.2d 839 (9th Cir.1989).

DISMISSED.

* The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. Fed.R.App.P. 34(a); Ninth Circuit Rule 34-4
