Annotate this Case
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit - 670 F.2d 86 (8th Cir. 1981) Submitted July 23, 1981. Decided July 30, 1981

Johnny F. Harris, pro se.

Steve Clark, Atty. Gen., by Alice Ann Burns, Asst. Atty. Gen., Little Rock, Ark., for appellee.

Before BRIGHT and ARNOLD, Circuit Judges, and DAVIES,*  Senior District Judge.

PER CURIAM.


Johnny F. Harris filed a complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 alleging that the defendant, Tommy Baker, while employed with the Arkansas State Police, made false statements to a state judge in his application for a search warrant. Execution of the warrant allegedly produced evidence which led to Harris's conviction.

The District Court1  dismissed the complaint on the ground that Harris's claim was barred by the applicable statute of limitations, Ark.Stat.Ann. § 37-206 (Repl.1962). We affirm on the basis of the District Court opinion. See Eighth Circuit Rule 14.
