PER CURIAM:
Alfred Wayne Finnell appeals the district court’s order
summarily dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) action. We have
reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no
reversible error. Insofar as Finnell is attempting to challenge his
federal conviction, we find it barred by the rule announced in Heck
v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477 (1994). We also find the action barred by
the statute of limitations. Wilson v. Garcia, 471 U.S. 261 (1985).
Accordingly, we affirm. We dispense with oral argument because the
facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the
materials before the court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
AFFIRMED
