David W. SMALLWOOD, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. TITANIUM METALS CORPORATION, Defendant-Appellee, and Local 4856, United Steel Workers of America; Alan Gines; Loren Taylor; Jerry Storms, Defendants.
    No. 03-16078.
    D.C. No. CV-01-00968-JCM.
    United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
    Argued and Submitted Dec. 6, 2004.
    Decided Dec. 20, 2004.
    Noah G. Allison, Esq., McCrea Martin Allison, Ltd., Las Vegas, NV, for Plaintiff-Appellant.
    Elayna J. Youchah, Esq., Schreck Brig-none, Las Vegas, NV, for Defendant-Appellee.
    Patricia S. Waldeck, Esq., Los Angeles, CA, for Defendant.
    Before KOZINSKI, W. FLETCHER, and BYBEE, Circuit Judges.
   MEMORANDUM

Smallwood filed this wrongful discharge action on July 17, 2001. The precise date of Smallwood’s discharge is unclear, but we know that he was discharged sometime prior to June 14, 1999, the date on which the union complained of Smallwood’s “[u]n-just [discharge.” In Nevada, a claim for wrongful discharge is subject to a two-year statute of limitations. See Palmer v. State, 106 Nev. 151, 787 P.2d 803, 804 (1990); Torre v. J.C. Penney Co., Inc., 916 F.Supp. 1029, 1030 (D.Nev.1996). Since Smallwood filed this action more than two years after his discharge, it was untimely.

AFFIRMED.
