U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 13-1976
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Smith and Beam, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Civil rights.In a Section 1983 action alleging defendants
conspired to fire plaintiff from her teaching position after she
criticized the St. Paul police, she failed to show that defendant Titus
was acting under color of state law or that the university and defendant
Lewis conspired to terminate her; the district court did not err in
denying plaintiff's motion to amend her complaint to add the St. Paul
Police Federation as she could not show a meeting of the minds between the
university, the St. Paul Police Department and the Federation, and the
amendment would have been futile.
