novo. Resnick v. Hayes, 213 F.3d 443, 447 (9th Cir. 2000) (dismissal under 28
U.S.C. § 1915A); Jones v. Blanas, 393 F.3d 918, 926 (9th Cir. 2004) (dismissal
based on the applicable statute of limitations). We affirm.
The district court properly dismissed McKinney’s action as time-barred
because McKinney failed to file his action within the applicable statute of
limitations. See Pincay v. Andrews, 238 F.3d 1106, 1108-09 (9th Cir. 2001) (civil
RICO claims have a four-year statute of limitations, which begins to run when a
plaintiff knows or should have known of the injury underlying the action);
Grimmett v. Brown, 75 F.3d 506, 515-16 (9th Cir. 1996) (civil RICO claims were
not tolled during the pendency of a prior judicial action because the prior judicial
action was not a perquisite to review in federal court).
We do not consider documents and facts not presented to the district court.
See United States v. Elias, 921 F.2d 870, 874 (9th Cir. 1990) (“Documents or facts
not presented to the district court are not part of the record on appeal.”).
AFFIRMED.
