action in previous cases, plaintiff’s complaint will be dismissed under the doctrine of res judicata. Finally, to the extent that plaintiff’s allegations center around his 1976 conviction, the statute of limitations has run on plaintiff’s claims. Plaintiff’s complaint, construed. to be an action in the nature of Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents, 403 U.S. 388 (1971), is subject to a five year statute of limitations. See e.g., Wilson v. Garcia, 471 U.S. 261, 269-70 (1985); McSurely v. Hutchison, 823 F.2d 1002, 1005 (6th Cir. 1987), cert. denied, 485 U.S. 934 (1988) (holding that because Bivens actions are analogous to those brought under § 1983, they are governed by the same statute of limitations) ; Chandler v. Presiding Judge, 838 F.2d 977 (8th Cir. 1988); Mo. Rev. Stat. § 516.120. In as much as plaintiff’s complaint alleges violations of his civil rights with respect to his 1976 conviction, his claims are barred by the applicable statute of limitations. Accordingly, it is ORDERED that defendants’ motions to dismiss are GRANTED. It is further ORDERED that plaintiff’s action is dismissed with prejudice for failure to state. a claim upon which relief may be granted. It is further ORDERED that all other pending motions are denied as moot. Dated: ya Kansas City, Missouri 11
