Goodson appeals the dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 claim.   The district court dismissed the action because the statute of limitation had expired.   Under Arizona law, the limitation period for a personal injury action is two years.   Wilson v. Garcia, 471 U.S. 261, 275 (1985).   Goodson sued in 1988, four years after the injury.   His suit is barred.   We AFFIRM.
