United States First Circuit
Mead v. Independence Association, 10-1790
In a suit under 42 U.S.C. section 1983 against an assisted living facilities licensed by the Maine Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), alleging plaintiff's termination without a hearing infringed her procedural due process rights, and a number of state law claims, the District Court's dismissal of plaintiff's due process claims and state law claims are affirmed where: 1) the living facility operator was a non-state actor and thus could not be held accountable under section 1983; and 2) the complaint failed to allege a constitutional violation by the DHHS employees.
