ORDER

3
Walter K. Davis appeals from the judgment of the district court dismissing his cause of action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983.  This case has been referred to a panel of the court pursuant to Rule 9(a), Rules of the Sixth Circuit.  Upon examination of the briefs and the record, this panel unanimously agrees that oral argument is not needed.  Fed.R.App.P. 34(a).

4
Davis filed suit on September 1, 1989, for conduct by defendants alleged to have occurred on March 22, 1985.

5
The district court dismissed the suit because he exceeded the applicable statute of limitations.  Upon review, we find no error.    Wilson v. Garcia, 471 U.S. 261, 275 (1985), directed that a single state statute of limitations must apply to all Sec. 1983 actions.  The limitations period for Sec. 1983 claims arising in Ohio is two years.    Browning v. Pendleton, 869 F.2d 989, 992 (6th Cir.1989) (en banc).

6
Accordingly, we hereby affirm the judgment of the district court for the reasons set forth in its opinion and order dated June 13, 1990.  Rule 9(b)(5), Rules of the Sixth Circuit.
