After examining appellant’s brief and the appellate record, this panel has

determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially assist the

Before EBEL, LUCERO and O’BRIEN, Circuit Judges.
Pro se Plaintiff-Appellant Alfred R. Cesspooch, Sr., is currently
incarcerated at the federal prison in Florence, Colorado. (Slip. Op. at 1.) He
filed a complaint alleging that Defendants violated his constitutional rights when
some of them stripped and beat him and others of them ignored the incident or
helped cover it up. (Id. at 1-2.) He seeks monetary relief pursuant to Bivens v.
Six Unknown Named Agents of Federal Bureau of Narcotics,
403 U.S. 388
(1971). (Id. at 2.)
Adopting the recommendation of the magistrate judge, the district court
dismissed Plaintiff’s claims against the Bureau of Prisons as barred by sovereign
immunity. (Id.) It dismissed Plaintiff’s claims against Price, Walker, DiMarzo
and Ploessel as barred by the applicable statute of limitations. (Id. at 3.) Because

determination of this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2) and 10th Cir. R.
34.1(G). The case is therefore ordered submitted without oral argument. This
order and judgment is not binding precedent, except under the doctrines of law of
the case, res judicata, and collateral estoppel. The court generally disfavors the
citation of orders and judgments; nevertheless, an order and judgment may be
cited under the terms and conditions of 10th Cir. R. 36.3.

the other Defendants were neither served with process nor had waived service, the
district court did not (and did not need to) discuss Plaintiff’s claims against them.
We exercise jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and AFFIRM for
substantially the reasons stated by the district court. All other pending motions
are hereby DISMISSED.
