Before BYE, BOWMAN, and BENTON, Circuit Judges.
                           ___________

PER CURIAM.
      Debry Allyn La Near appeals the district court1 orders concluding that certain
claims in her civil action were time-barred under a five-year statute of limitations, and
denying her motions for appointed counsel. After carefully reviewing the record and
considering La Near’s arguments, we find no basis for reversal. See Phillips v. Jasper
County Jail, 437 F.3d 791, 794 (8th Cir. 2006) (denial of motion for appointed
counsel is reviewed for abuse of discretion); Eichenwald v. Small, 321 F.3d 733, 736
(8th Cir. 2003) (district court’s application of state’s statute of limitations is reviewed
de novo).

       Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
                      ______________________________

      1
        The Honorable Charles A. Shaw, United States District Judge for the Eastern
District of Missouri.
