PER CURIAM:

1
A review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal from that court's order denying relief 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.  Carter v. Puryear, C/A No. 85-0988 (W.D.Va. Jan. 5, 1987).

2
AFFIRMED.

*
 When an action is dismissed for noncompliance with the statute of limitations, within that jurisdiction, the judgment is res judicata.  The judgment bars a second action on the same cause regardless of whether the statute of limitations in question creates the right or bars only the remedy.    Davis v. Mills, 194 U.S. 451 (1904);  1B J. Moore, J. Lucas & T. Currier, Moore's Federal Practice, p 0.409 (2d ed. 1984)
