No. 07-30254

United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit

Nov. 13, 2007

Before REAVLEY, SMITH, and BARKSDALE, Circuit Judges.

Summary Calendar.

Michael Moore, Lake Charles, LA, pro se.

PER CURIAM:*

Michael Moore, proceeding pro se, appeals from the district court‘s dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint as barred by the statute of limitations. We affirm for the following reasons:

  1. Moore‘s complaint raised claims related to his 2002 arrest and subsequent confinement from August 2002 to October 2002 and from December 2003 to May 2004. Moore did not file his complaint until November 14, 2006.
  2. Moore argues on appeal only that he raised a claim for malicious prosecution that he asserts did not accrue until the charges against him were dismissed on November 16, 2005. A claim of malicious prosecution standing alone does not violate the United States Constitution. Castellano v. Fragozo, 352 F.3d 939, 942 (5th Cir. 2003) (en banc).
  3. Moore thus fails to present a cognizable federal claim. We may affirm the district court on any alternative basis supported by the record. Sojourner T v. Edwards, 974 F.2d 27, 30 (5th Cir. 1992).

AFFIRMED.
