PER CURIAM.
Iowa inmate Rondoe Wright appeals the District Court’s 1 preservice dismissal
of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) action. Upon careful review of the record, we
conclude dismissal was proper because Wright’s claims, which accrued at least four
years prior to initiation of this action, were barred by the applicable statute of
-- 1 of 2 --
-2-
limitations. See Iowa Code § 614.1(2) (West Supp. 2003) (limitations period for
personal injury actions is two years after accrual); Wilson v. Garcia, 471 U.S. 261,
279–80 (1985). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47A(a).
