   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  02-4016
   Western District of Missouri   
   Civil case - civil rights. Plaintiff's complaint alleging deprivation of her 
   rights under the full and equal benefits clause did not allege a violation of 
   her Right-to-Contract under Section 1981; district court did not abuse its 
   discretion in denying plaintiff's motion for leave to file an amended 
   complaint; because defendant was not acting under color of state law, 
   plaintiff's full and equal benefit claim must fail. (PUBLISHED)
