Description
Plantiff John Johnson, Jr. filed a civil rights complaint, pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, against the Johnson County, Kansas, Commission and its "jury service and selection board," alleging that he was deprived of a fair trial due to systematic racial discrimination in the selection of jury members. He filed a similar action against the City of Overland Park, Kansas, its city commission board and members, alleging that he was deprived of his constitutional rights by Overland Park police during unlawful interrogations, searches and seizures, forcible entries, and an arrest. The district court dismissed both complaints as barred by the two-year statute of limitations covering "an injury to the rights of others" in Kansas. Kan. Stat. Ann. § 60-513(a)(4). The court also denied plaintiffs motions to proceeed in forma pauperis on appeal, because it determined that plaintiffs appeals are legally frivolous. We agree with the district court and dismiss the appeals.
