ORDER AND JUDGMENT* 

ROBERT L. HOECKER 

Clerk 

No. 91-3143 

(D.C. No. 90-CV-4093) 

(D. Kansas) 

Before LOGAN, MOORE, and BALDOCK, Circuit Judges. 

After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel 

has determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially 

assist the determination of this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 

34(a); 10th Cir. R. 34.1.9. The case is therefore ordered submitted without oral argument. 

Plaintiff Ricky E. Selby filed a 42 u.s.c. § 1983 complaint 

against Ed White, a Topeka, Kansas police detective, for various 

violations of his constitutional rights, including false arrest, 

trespass, and illegal search and seizure. Plaintiff alleged in 

his complaint that the violations arose out of his arrest in 1973 

* This order and judgment has no precedential value and shall not 

be cited, or used by any court within the Tenth Circuit, except 

for purposes of establishing the doctrines of the law of the case, 

res judicata, or collateral estoppel. 10th Cir. R. 36.3.

and later contact with White in 1976. The district court entered 

judgment in favor of White pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(c) 

because plaintiff failed to file his claims within Kansas's twoyear statute of limitations for civil rights violations. See Kan. 

Stat. Ann.§ 60-513(a)(4); Wilson v. Garcia, 471 U.S. 261 (1985). 

Plaintiff, appearing prose, then filed this appeal. 

We agree with the district court that plaintiff's cause of 

action is barred by the applicable statute of limitations. The 

suit, which is based on incidents occurring in 1973 and 1976, was 

not filed until 1990, well beyond Kansas's two-year statute of 

limitations. Accordingly, the district court properly entered 

judgment on the pleadings in favor of defendant White. 1 

AFFIRMED. 

The mandate shall issue forthwith.

James K. Logan 

Circuit Judge 

1 Plaintiff filed a motion with this court to supplement the 

record with documents relating to his 1973 arrest. In light of 

our holding in this case, the motion to supplement the record is 

hereby denied.
