Rayas v. MarchusNo. 20100139 Per Curiam. [1] Efren Cortez Rayas appeals from the district court's judgment dismissing his claim for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted and because the applicable statute of limitations bars the claim. Rayas argues his complaint should be construed to prevent dismissal because he is self-represented and because he sent letters in 2002 providing notice of his claim. The district court properly determined Rayas' claim is barred by the statute of limitations in N.D.C.C. 28-01-22.1, and we do not reach the remaining issues. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(6). [2] Gerald W. VandeWalle, C.J.Daniel J. CrothersDale V. SandstromCarol Ronning KapsnerMary Muehlen Maring
