UNKNOWN PARTIES, C.O. and C.O. II; MEMORANDUM *

Defendants - Appellees.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the District of Arizona
Robert C. Broomfield, District Judge, Presiding
Submitted April 17, 2012 **
Before: LEAVY, PAEZ, and BEA, Circuit Judges.
David James Dodd, an Arizona state prisoner, appeals pro se from the
district court’s order dismissing as time-barred his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action
alleging deliberate indifference to his safety. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C.
*
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
**
The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
§ 1291. We review de novo, Jones v. Blanas, 393 F.3d 918, 926 (9th Cir. 2004),
and we affirm.
The district court properly dismissed Dodd’s claims as time-barred because
the claims accrued more than four years before Dodd filed his complaint. See id. at
927 (for § 1983 claims, the courts apply the forum state’s statute of limitations for
personal injury claims); Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 12-542(1) (two-year statute of
limitations for personal injury actions).
Dodd’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive.
AFFIRMED.
