   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  14-1435
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Loken and Shepherd, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Civil rights. For the court's prior opinion in the matter, 
   see Robbins v. Becker, 715 F.3d 691 (8th Cir. 2013). In action alleging 
   the defendant state troopers and towing companies conspired to interfere 
   with plaintiffs' towing business, the district court did not err in 
   finding plaintiffs did not have a legitimate claim of entitlement to any 
   particular towing work and could not establish a 
   constitutionally-protected property right; nor did their claims establish 
   violation of a liberty interest; in order to establish a "class-of-one" 
   equal protection claim, a plaintiff must provide a specific and detailed 
   account of the nature of the preferred treatment of the favored class, 
   especially where the state actors exercise broad discretion to balance a 
   number of legitimate considerations, and plaintiffs failed to meet this 
   exacting standard; absent a constitutional violation, plaintiffs could not 
   state an actionable conspiracy claim; with respect to the claim that the 
   officers conspired with other towing companies to restrain and monopolize 
   trade in violation of Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act, the plaintiffs 
   failed to produce any evidence of such a conspiracy. Judge Loken, 
   concurring.
