PER CURIAM;

4
A review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal from its order dismissing plaintiff's civil rights complaint as time barred is without merit.*   Because the dispositive issues recently have been decided authoritatively, we dispense with oral argument and affirm the judgment below on the reasoning of the district court.  Bedney v. Hagston, C/A No. 87-997 (S.D.W.Va. Sept. 3, 1987).

AFFIRMED

*
 Although filed under 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983, plaintiff's complaint, against federal defendants, is more properly construed under Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Federal Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971).  West Virginia's two-year personal injury limitations period applies in either cases to bar the action
