United States Eighth Circuit

In a case arising from difficulties between two elected city officials raising claims that city officials conspired to prevent plaintiff's re-election in retaliation for her opposition to defendant-mayor, summary judgment for city officials is affirmed where plaintiff failed to establish that she was deprived of a fundamental right, that there was any link between defendants' actions and her defeat at the polls, or that defendants acted under color of state law.
