Alfred Wayne Finnell, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Alfred    Wayne    Finnell   appeals    the   district    court’s   order

summarily dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) action.             We have

reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no

reversible error. Insofar as Finnell is attempting to challenge his

federal conviction, we find it barred by the rule announced in Heck

v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477 (1994). We also find the action barred by

the statute of limitations. Wilson v. Garcia, 471 U.S. 261 (1985).

Accordingly, we affirm. We dispense with oral argument because the

facts   and   legal    contentions   are    adequately   presented    in   the

materials     before   the   court   and    argument   would   not   aid   the

decisional process.
