   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  12-2834
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Murphy and Smith, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil Case - civil rights. In action raising constitutional claims against 
   bankruptcy trustee, U.S. Marshal and deputy marshals arising from 
   bankruptcy order to vacate premises, the district court did not abuse its 
   discretion in failing to construe the complaint as alleging a Bivens 
   action. The section 1983 claims against the state defendants sued in their 
   official capacities failed because there were insufficient facts to show a 
   direct causal link between the City's policy or custom and the alleged 
   violation of constitutional rights. The dismissal of the tort claims 
   against the trustees failed for failure to obtain leave of the bankruptcy 
   court under Barton v. Barbour, 104 U.S. 126 (1881), which remains good law 
   after the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978. District court did not abuse its 
   discretion in declining to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over other 
   state law claims.
