United States Eleventh Circuit
Jimenez v. WellStar Health Sys., 09-10917
In an action alleging racially discriminatory suspension of a physician's medical staff privileges, dismissal of the complaint is affirmed where: 1) the complaint did not adequately plead that defendant's alleged discrimination concerned activities enumerated by 42 U.S.C. section 1981; 2) the suspension of medical staff privileges did not implicate any rights protected by section 1981; and 3) conspiracies to violate rights protected under section 1981 were likewise insufficient to form the basis of a section 1985(3) claim.
