United States Third Circuit
Sprauve v. West Indian Co. Ltd., 13-4371
In a case brought against plaintiffs' former employers, alleging claims under the First and Fourteenth Amendments and 42 U.S.C. section 1983, the district court's dismissal for failure to state a claim because the employer is not a government entity, is reversed in part, where under the analysis in Lebron v. National Railroad Passenger Corp., 513 U.S. 374 (1995), defendant is a governmental entity and is therefore subject to claims under the US Constitution and section 1983.
