Leo R. Collins, Plaintiff-appellant, v. City of Mentor, et al., Defendants-appellees, 25 F.3d 1047 (6th Cir. 1994)

Plaintiff, Leo R. Collins, appeals from an order of the district court dismissing his lawsuit.

Having carefully considered the record on appeal and the briefs of the parties, we are not persuaded that the district court erred in dismissing plaintiff's action as being barred by the statute of limitations. Furthermore, we normally do not review issues raised on appeal that were not first raised in the district court. Foster v. Barilow, 6 F.3d 405, 407 (6th Cir. 1993).

As the reasons why judgment should be entered for defendants have been articulated by the district court, the issuance of a full written opinion by this court would be duplicative and serve no useful purpose. Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is affirmed upon the reasonings set out by that court in its memorandum of opinion and order filed April 6, 1993.
