NOT FOR PUBLICATION UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FILED DEC 15 2022 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT KHOSROW RAHIMI, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS No. 21-35714 Plaintiff-Appellant, v. D.C. No. 3:20-cv-01607-AC MEMORANDUM* CITY OF SHERIDAN; STATE OF OREGON, Defendants-Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Oregon Marco A. Hernandez, District Judge, Presiding Submitted December 8, 2022** Before: WALLACE, TALLMAN, and BYBEE, Circuit Judges. Khosrow Rahimi appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action arising out of the rezoning of real property. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a dismissal on the basis of the applicable statute of limitations and under Federal Rule of Civil * This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). Procedure 12(b)(6). Cholla Ready Mix, Inc. v. Civish, 382 F.3d 969, 973 (9th Cir. 2004). We affirm. The district court properly dismissed Rahimi’s action as time-barred because Rahimi filed this action more than two years after his claims accrued. See Soto v. Sweetman, 882 F.3d 865, 870-71 (9th Cir. 2018) (explaining that “[f]ederal courts in § 1983 actions apply the state statute of limitations from personal injury claims,” and that federal law governs when a claim accrues, which is when a plaintiff knows or should know of the injury that forms the basis for his cause of action); Bonneau v. Centennial Sch. Dist. No. 28J, 666 F.3d 577, 579-80 (9th Cir. 2012) (applying Or. Rev. Stat. § 12.110’s two-year statute of limitations to § 1983 claim). We do not consider matters not specifically and distinctly raised and argued in the opening brief. See Padgett v. Wright, 587 F.3d 983, 985 n.2 (9th Cir. 2009). AFFIRMED. 2 21-35714
