United States Ninth Circuit

In a 42 U.S.C. section 1983 action challenging a charter school's termination of a teacher, dismissal of the complaint is affirmed where plaintiff's allegations were insufficient to raise a reasonable inference that defendant was a state actor and thus acted under color of state law in taking the alleged actions.
