August 6, 2001
Before JOLLY, DeMOSS, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Harry L. Batiste appeals the district court’s dismissal of
his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint as time-barred. We have reviewed
the record, the briefs of the parties, and the applicable law,
and we discern no reversible error. Batiste’s complaint, filed
on March 1, 2000, was filed more than one year after the accrual
of his cause of action, his purportedly wrongful arrest on
October 21, 1998. Accordingly, the district court did not err by
dismissing Batiste’s action as time-barred. See Owens v. Okure,
