U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 06-1696
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Batesville
[PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Benton and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Civil rights. District court did not err in granting city
officials summary judgment on claims they conspired to prevent
plaintiff's re-election in retaliation for her opposition to defendant
mayor, as plaintiff failed to establish that she was deprived of a
fundamental right, that there was any link between defendants' actions
and her defeat at the polls or that defendants acted under color of
state law.
