1Per curiam
Chris Myers, Jr., an Iowa inmate, brought this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action against two state judges and four attorneys. Myers contends the judges violated his constitutional rights by waiving juvenile court jurisdiction and sentencing him as an adult. Myers contends his four attorneys provided ineffective assistance of counsel. The district court sua sponte dismissed Myers’s complaint as frivolous because the statute of limitations for filing a section 1983 claim in Iowa had run. Myers appeals from this dismissal.
