Before RICHARD S. ARNOLD, BOWMAN, and BEAM, Circuit Judges.
                           ___________

PER CURIAM.
        Stephen Hogrefe appeals the district court’s1 dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983
action. We agree with the district court that dismissal was proper. Among other
things, Hogrefe’s complaint is based on an injury he received twenty-two years ago.
It is therefore barred by the applicable statute of limitations. Accordingly, we affirm.
See 8th Cir. R. 47A(a).

      A true copy.

             Attest:

                     CLERK, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT.




      1
        The Honorable Warren K. Urbom, United States District Judge for the District
of Nebraska, adopting the report and recommendations of the Honorable David L.
Piester, United States Magistrate Judge for the District of Nebraska.
