to consider it for that reason. See City of Newark v. Township of Hardyston, 285 N.J.Super. 385, 397, 667 A.2d 193 (App.Div.1995). We prefer, however, to decide the justiciability of plaintiffs claim under § 1983 on a different ground. Plaintiffs § 1983 claim is clearly barred by the statute of limitations even if we assume for the sake of argument that it is not precluded by res judicata. In Wilson v. Garcia, 471 U.S. 261, 105 S.Ct. 1938, 85 L.Ed.2d 254 (1985), the United States Supreme Court held that every § 1983 claim, whatever the facts on which it is based or the nature of the injury sustained, is subject to the statute of limitations applicable to personal injury claims in the state where the federal cause of action arose. See Hondo, Inc. v. Sterling, 21 F.3d 775 (7th Cir.1994) (<HOLDING>). In New Jersey, that statute is N.J.S.A.
