How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• calling for assistance from law enforcement, even without grounds, is insufficient for state action unless there is a conspiracy
• reiterating Askew’s finding that state officers assigned to a federal drug agency did not act under color of state law
• similar, as challenged conduct was “functionally equivalent to that of any private citizen”
• for a private party to act under color of state law, “there must be a conspiracy, an agree- ment on a joint course of action in which the private party and the state have a common goal”
• \an additional layer of protection against civil liability\
