Before MOTZ, TRAXLER, and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Luke Allen, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

           Luke Allen appeals the district court’s order accepting

the recommendation of the magistrate judge and dismissing his 42

U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)

(2000).   We have reviewed the record and find that Allen’s action

is barred by the three-year statute of limitations applicable to

prisoner civil rights claims arising in North Carolina.            See N.C.

Gen. Stat. § 1-52(5) (LexisNexis 2005); Brooks v. City of Winston-

Salem, 85 F.3d 178, 181 (4th Cir. 1996).           Accordingly, we affirm.

We   dispense   with   oral   argument   because    the   facts   and   legal

contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the

court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

                                                                   AFFIRMED

                                  - 2 -
