   MEMORANDUM

James L. Weems appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his action alleging federal claims arising from purportedly false statements made in a prior state court action regarding the reason for discharging Weems from employment as a tenured professor. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo. See Fink v. Shedler, 192 F.3d 911, 914 (9th Cir.1999) (dismissal on the basis of the statute of limitations); Romano v. Bible, 169 F.3d 1182, 1185 (9th Cir.1999) (dismissal under Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(b)(6)). We affirm.

The district court properly dismissed all of Weems’s claims as barred by the applicable two-year statute of limitations. See Or.Rev.Stat. § 12.110 (two-year statute of limitations for personal injury actions, including fraud); Knox v. Davis, 260 F.3d 1009, 1012-13 (9th Cir.2001) (for § 1983 claims, federal courts apply the forum state’s personal injury statute of limitations and federal law for determining accrual; a § 1983 claim accrues when the plaintiff knows or has reason to know of the injury that forms the basis of the action). Because the claims were properly dismissed as barred by the statute of limitations, we do not reach any other issues.

Weems’s contention regarding the denial of leave to amend is unpersuasive.

AFFIRMED.
