Per Curiam. We have carefully reviewed the
___________

appellant's brief and the record on appeal. We agree with

the district court's conclusion that appellant's complaint is

barred by Massachusetts' three-year statute of limitations on

personal injury actions, Mass. Gen. L. ch. 260, 2A, which

is applicable to civil rights complaints, filed pursuant to

42 U.S.C. 1983. Owens v. Okure, 488 U.S. 235 (1989); see
_____ _____ ___

also Street v. Vose, 936 F.2d 38 (1st Cir. 1991), cert.
____ ______ ____ _____

denied, 112 S. Ct. 948 (1992). There is nothing in the
______

record to suggest that that limitations period was, or ought

to have been, tolled. The order of the district court

dismissing the complaint is, therefore, affirmed.

Affirmed.
