    Allen Blair Smith appealed the district court's denial of relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against various FBI agents and police officers. The Fourth Circuit affirmed the district court's ruling, finding the appeal was without merit. Several of the defendants were federal officials, against whom § 1983 claims cannot be brought, but claims against them would also be time-barred under applicable Maryland limitations law. The Fourth Circuit affirmed the district court's decision based on its reasoning.

    Decided: Oct. 25, 1988.
    Rehearing Denied Dec. 21, 1988.

    Allen Blair Smith, appellant pro se.


    Before K.K. HALL, ERVIN and WILKINSON, Circuit Judges.
    PER CURIAM:

    Allen Blair Smith appeals from the district court's order denying relief under 42
    U.S.C. Sec. 1983. Our review of the record and the district court's opinion
    discloses that this appeal is without merit.* Accordingly, we affirm on the
    reasoning of the district court. Smith v. Moberg, C/A No. 88-1414 (D.Md. June
    8, 1988). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal
    contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the Court and
    argument would not aid the decisional process.

    AFFIRMED.

    Several of the named defendants are federal officials. Section 1983 suits may
    not be brought against federal defendants. District of Columbia v. Carter, 409
    U.S. 418 (1973). Rather, such actions may be brought under 28 U.S.C. Sec.
    1331. Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Fed. Bureau of Narcotics, 403
    U.S. 388 (1971). Smith's suit against these federal officials, however, also is
    time-barred under the applicable Maryland limitations law. See Blanck v.
    McKeen, 707 F.2d 817 (4th Cir.), cert. denied, 464 U.S. 916 (1983)
