BOWMAN, Circuit Judge.
This case is before us on interlocutory appeal under 28 U.S.C. § 1292(b) from the District Court’s 1 denial of the motion of defendants-appellants (hereinafter collectively referred to as Wapello County) for summary judgment. The District Court held that plaintiff-appellee Cheryl Ridg-way’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action was not barred by Iowa’s two-year statute of limitations for personal injury actions, thereby denying retroactive effect to Wilson v. Garcia, 471 U.S. 261, 105 S.Ct. 1938, 85 L.Ed.2d 254 (1985). We affirm.
