Opinion
Opinion
MEMORANDUM
John Erickson and Shelley A. Erickson appeal pro se from the district court’s summary judgment in their 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging various claims against the City of Auburn in connection with their attempts to develop a parcel of real property. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 . We review de novo, Hernandez v. Spacelabs Med. Inc., 343 F.3d 1107, 1112 (9th Cir.2003), and we affirm.
The district court properly granted summary judgment in favor of the City because the claims against the City are time-barred. See Wash. Rev.Code § 4.16.080(2) (2006) (statute of limitations governing personal injury actions is three years); Carpinteria Valley Farms, Ltd. v. County of Santa Barbara, 344 F.3d 822, 828 (9th Cir.2003) (“The applicable statute of limitations for actions brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 is the forum state’s statute of limitations for personal injury actions.”); Mont. Pole & Treating Plant v. I.F. Laucks and Co., 993 F.2d 676, 678 (9th Cir.1993) (“[T]he critical determination of when an action accrues is knowledge of the facts essential to the cause of action.”).
Appellants’ remaining contentions are unpersuasive.
