OPINION
Jerome Anthony Howard appeals the order of the district court dismissing without prejudice pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A (2000) his suit under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) for failure to state a claim.* This court reviews de novo a district court’s § 1915A dismissal. De’Lonta v. Angelone, 330 F.3d 630, 633 (4th Cir.2003); Veney v. Wyche, 293 F.3d 726, 730 (4th Cir.2002).
Howard’s claims accruing more than two years before he filed suit are barred by the applicable statute of limitations. As to these claims, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See Howard v. Smith, No. 7:03-CV-00144 (W.D.Va. Apr. 29, 2003).
Turning to Howard’s remaining claims, we cannot conclude “beyond doubt” that Howard’s complaint fails to state a claim. See Gordon v. Leeke, 574 F.2d 1147, 1151 (4th Cir.1978). Howard asserts that he was housed on the second tier notwithstanding his clubbed foot, which made traversing the stairs hazardous. He also contended that after a fall in which he broke or dislodged a bone, the prison doctor did not examine him for eleven days, and the examination consisted only of viewing Howard through a window in his cell door. Liberally construing Howard’s complaint, we find that he has alleged that prison officials were deliberately indifferent to an objectively serious medical need sufficient to preclude summary dismissal under § 1915A. See Johnson v. Quinones, 145 F.3d 164, 167 (4th Cir.1998) (providing standard).
Accordingly, we vacate the district court’s order as to the timely filed claims and remand for further proceedings. We express no opinion as to the proper ultimate disposition of Howard’s claims. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court *311and argument would not aid the decisional process.
